Time Is Running Out

Time is running out.

What chases me is catching up.

I cannot escape.

I scream for help, but none arrives.

I am alone.

I am afraid.

I am out of time.

A clock ticks in my head.

Faster, faster, faster.

Time speeds up.

Time runs out.

I am out of time.

    Maybe Someday

    Ya know

    Sometimes I don’t think

    That things will ever get better

    Sometimes I don’t see

    How they really could

    But I’m not always like that

    Sometimes I think

    “Maybe someday”

    “Maybe it will improve”

    Being a teenager

    In 2025

     

    Distance

    Rain

    Endless nights

    With no end in sight
