A Life At Fast Pace

Updated: Apr 15, 2020

From the moment I wake up,

I'm on alert, wide-eyed, head up,

Don't lose a second, don't count to ten,

Make a list, tick it off, start again,

Meditate, make it good,

Do it like you know you should,

What else? What else?

What makes you worth it?

What makes you look like you really deserve it?

And lunge, and lift, good - feel the burn,

Don't worry, those eye bags are no cause for concern,

'Wow, you're so dedicated, how do you survive?'

I do it for fear of not looking alive,

Look alive, look alive, get those lines on your face,

Make that your trophy for a life at fast pace,

The fear, the worry,

The boredom must scurry,

The lack of daydreaming,

Because you're ahead steaming,


Stay inside, save lives,




......okay. stop. wait.


Is that a tree?

The leaves that grow,

And all this time, I never stopped to know.
