How the years seemed to
Have passed so quickly,
Even though the seconds
Move in slow motion.
Time just melts away
As I stand still,
Frozen in my steps.
And I’ve found myself
Inching forward but
Falling miles behind.
I watch the world
Controlled by schedules
That account for every
Minute of their day.
While I struggled
To keep up with them,
I had no other choice
But to give up in defeat.
Still, I begged every
Passerby to stop their
Hurried pace and slow
Down with me,
Yet, in the rush,
They could not hear me.
