Poem -

Time.

Time.

My life in 60 seconds.
Itโ€™s down to 58.
Itโ€™s down to 54 now.
I just canโ€™t concentrate.

I think my headโ€™s on backwards.
Iโ€™m on the mountain pass.
Iโ€™m driving around a bend now.
But Iโ€™m thinking of going straight.

My life in 60 seconds.
Counting days like shooting stars.
I feel like theyโ€™re going backwards.
I canโ€™t seem to tell them apart.

My friends, they tell me stories.
And Iโ€™ve got some wings to catch.
I know sheโ€™ll miss me in a few days.
She knows thereโ€™s no turning back.

My life in 60 seconds.
Goes to damn โ€“ way too fast.
I shouldnโ€™t be wishing for the future.
When Iโ€™m still begging for the past.

If I had to make these choices.
If I had to take this chance.
Iโ€™d wanna have it this way always.
And even if I canโ€™tโ€ฆ

See you ever again,
Iโ€™ll still remember you,
Till the end of time.

It is a ride as Mark says and what a ride!
The clock ticking and never will anyone beat it, so strap yourselves in for the bumpy ride called life.
Great opening verses and a slight change of pace to reach a conclusion and what a conclusion to reach.
One to eternally linger.
Nice one Max and hold on dearly to those memories never let them diminish or ever fade.
Live life to the full and enjoy all the good it can happily bestow my friend :)
ย And respect to you.
Shaun.

Now this one was a fun one! More on the rap style I tend to enjoy. I'm learning that people live lives at different paces but I'm still figuring out mine. Either way I know these days that really, I don't have to keep up or slow down for anyone and there's nothing wrong with that. Glad you enjoyed this fast paced read~
