a life stands still
poetry doesn’t pay the bills
time waits for no man
no time for not knowing where you stand
the expectations of adulthood
a crushing weight universally understood
pushed into the deep end
without time to comprehend
juvenile delinquents and high school dropouts
already instilled with self doubts
it seems they were doomed from the start
in therapists offices getting their minds pulled apart
the world cares not for your struggles
gripping childhood comfort with white knuckles
the world will keep spinning on its axis
easy in theory, hard in practice
time waits for no man
so you better get it together, kid
