Something new that's just finished. Not sure I like it that much, but hey, they can't all be winners.
Becoming too content.
As you do with age.
Search for adventure.
But too afraid of change.
Eyes glued to the clock.
Twiddling thumbs, never blinking.
Growing older and older as the hands tick and tock.
Can't escape the clutches, the hands pulling you down.
Life isn't a sport you can turn off or on.
Time works against you, you can't stop the clock.
Stressed beyond belief.
Not a chance for relief.
With myself I sit alone.
Finishing off another Viet Coke.
My brain is racing.
The alcohol kind of helping.
Easing the crazies.
Relaxing the unease.
Life isn't a sport you can turn off or on.
Time works against you, you can't stop the clock.
Broke beyond repair.
Deserves to be thrown in the trash.
Not enough resources.
Not enough cash.
No amount of reprogramming.
Could salvage our wasted time.
Sing a song of hope.
To deceive our minds.
Life isn't a sport you can turn off or on.
Time works against you, you can't stop the clock.
Nice!Life to me is all about balance. That is what makes it exciting. Some people take risks that do them in; while others sit and just watch the clock. I have done ok....my method has been to let opportunities come my way; then choose to accept them or let them pass. I have not taken any great risks, but I have been willing to take some chances. I am also an advocate for slow and steady....no need to hurry feeling pressured to achieve or perform..don't let the ticking clock prompt you to do something just because time is passing by.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the insight! I try to be like this too, but have lately been finding myself anxious about things because of time. I guess a lot of us do that as we get older.
