Reflection leads to regret For what I have and haven’t done yet Time tripping me up in its urgency How many days are there left for me The clock doesn’t run against but works with times tidal wave Resistance is the only way I know how to behave But I am only mortal so I suffer as its slave Tic tock past the clock even the sun will not stay still Planets spinning there will be an ending to all I feel And though the metronome may keep a rhythmic tone I am more chaotic, lay dying just to live and thrive alone
