There's ever enough
Yet, I've managed to waste so much

I think of how much I could have accomplished
in the recent time that I've taken off

A lot

How much money I could have saved
rather than indulging on what I thought I needed

How many new people I could have met
Despite the fact that I barely talk to the people that I'm closest to

Oh, but it all can change
When someone gives you a deadline

Then, you're on their time

There's nothing I hate more
than being on a deadline.
It makes me want to step on the gas
not shift
and make the tachometer red line

I like to do things at my own pace,
Run my own race
But when I'm on you're time,
That can't be the case

When I'm on your time
My opinion isn't worth a dime
I have to meet your standards
and do it within the time you tell me?

*******.

You don't hold rank over me
I'm going to be what I want to be
But it's a shame that you cant see
The passion deep inside of me

I know that my time could be up at any moment.
And that Time waits for no one.
But give me a chance to sit down and have a drink.
Maybe I'll open up and let you in on what I think.

In the end this is just a rant
It's not like I wouldn't say this aloud if I could.
But I can't.
It hurts sometimes
