one thing that i've learned about time
is that it doesn't slow down
for me, for you, for them
the days are flying by
like a car
swerving past me on the road
dancing around
the brink of life
the brink of death
and i'm trying to catch
my breath
people are coming and leaving
as i blink my eyes
and i can't make them
stay
time scares me
it's demanding
and i'm not ready
to take orders
it gets better in time,
it gets worse in time
i'll get better in time,
i'll get worse
in time.
