Sometimes life runs in slow motion
No matter how much you try
You are unable to walk out of the situation
A feeling, when time runs without you
Taking the world around you much ahead
And you are left behind, in a time wrap
Your limbs become tired, trying to swim
Inside the tide, which, has drowned you
In the deluge of memories
Neither can you swim back to the shores
Nor, leave behind the present situation
Keep paddling through the turbulence
Incapacitated heart beating feebly
Lungs filled with despair, gasping for breath
It won’t be long, you drown
If you don’t find a way to release yourself
From the chains of failing memories
Life will slow down further
Before you realize
You are heading for the bottomless pit
