I’m running out of time

I’m not ready,

Im not okay

Guys I’m running out of t—

1-10

The world is so bright

No blights, no fights

Nothing misplaced, everything is great

Running down slides

Making mud pies

Digging for the worms

Catching all the germs

Talking was tough, never hung out much

Friends were not my forte

But nature was my main play

Building out of sticks and bricks

Keeping myself occupied

Blankly oblivious to the outside

Family was great, always had lots of cake

Toys and trinkets galore

Never thought as poor

Two sisters with a gap

Always was a great trap

They hung out all day

Until my big sis went away

Maybe that was when

Not all life was great

First crack to seeing the truth

Was not ready

11-14

Thrown into adulthood, no need for adolescence

Put the big girl pants on, time on the line

Make those bucks, pay the bills

No time for play, big sis went away

Middle kid no help

All she does is complain and yelp

You’re our only hope

15 - 17

Working to the bone

See no flesh? See no stone?

Maturing at high speeds

Never not being free

You are now thee

Provider for the family

18

The clock strikes 12:00, making way for the new me

The big 18, it’s crazy you see?

The scary stuff has passed, but the world is so green

You just gotta keep your head up and be the optimist you see

A child so young shouldn’t have been put through so many rough times, but it provided growth to show you what was truly on the inside

So yes, I’m officially out of time. The big 1 8 is here, and has been passed by.

Yet inside

I’m still that little kid, wishing to be oblivious once more.

Out of time

Out Of time

Out Of Time
