PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

How many things am I supposed to do before I die?

I used to have a list

of everything that seemed so important

Silly things

and it’s so long

Keep forgetting-

the clock is ticking

How do I set a limit

when things get blurry in my mind

and it’s happening all the time

Every day I’d be watching brain cells dying

if I had some way to see them

Still I don’t know how many I’ve already lost

I guess its better just not knowing

Ignoring that I'm wasting the day

that I'm running out of time

Keep on moving straight ahead

and hope I get everything done

before the limit

before the expiration date
