Tick Tock
Time is such a strange thing 
 There always seems to be too much of it
 Or too little
 Always at the wrong moment 
 But in the end, it always runs out, 
 Whether you want it to or not
 
 And within time, there is change
 Always
 Nothing in the world ever stays the same
 Not the flowing rivers
 Nor the pebble dragged along
 Things are going to change and there’s nothing that I,
 Or anyone else can do to change that 
 Nothing is permanent
 Not life
 Not the world 
 And not me
 
 Sometimes I feel like my life is rushing past me
 Like a furious storm sweeping the earth
 While I just stand here and watch
 Attempting and trying to understand it
 To solve it
 But there’s never enough time to actually try
 To try to live
 
 And sometimes, 
 Things go from being fantastic 
 To suddenly crashing down on top of me 
 And crushing me so I cant breath 
 
 I feel like I’m a puppet
 A toy, or a tool
 In some crewel master’s hands
 And my fate is up to everyone else to decide
 Except me
 And I know I should take it back
 But I’m never strong enough
 I never have enough strength
 Never have enough time
 I feel like I’ll never be able to do anything meaningful
 And if I even start to try,
 I’ll fall short and crash down
 And my time will run out.
