Once again I feel defeated,

Still alone, slowly depleted,

Sitting lonesome in quiet wait,

For something to initiate.

Just one message , on my phone,

To get me up and out of home.

I once thought that time was slow,

My father tried to let me know,

Now that time has gone and past,

I understand time is constant and very fast,

Remember all those times, you said "I know"

Parents would warn, but still you'd go,

Out into the night, not a care in the world,

Parents up late, worried sick, your not killed.

If I knew when I was young,

How much pain I would cause some,

I would have changed the error of ways,

Changed directions, had better days,

No going back, time travel non existent ,

Know what you have, gone in an instant.
