As I watch the grains of sand flow
I reminisce of days when things were slow
When children remained innocent until they were ready to grow up
How easily imagination flowed through our minds like emptying a cup
Opinions were shared and not used as a weapon to tear others down
Hearing people enjoy your days out in the sun without hearing siren sounds
To be able to look up and see a group of clouds dance across the sunlit sky
Hear birds chirping away as they ate the left over seeds
Feel the wind violate your body with its gentle touch
These are the things I miss so much
The hourglass keeps its steady pace
This uninvited passenger has decided to stay
Inside of my mind, stripping all that was good forcing it to decay
It made a home where once I found happy solitude
Eating away at my jovial nature, replacing it with a darker mood
Each grain falls, feels like an eternity
Wanting to feel the end, because now, this is me
