Years go by

Through night and day

Time only cares if its in the way

Throughout the years, the days and

Nights we sit and wonder wheres the

Dawning light. Never knowing

Answers untold, always watching

Growing old, sitting by a

Fireplace,

A desk, a bed, nothing matters much

When

Your dead. I live my life to what

Standards I have but never know

What happens next when things go

Bad. To grow is to learn while

Learning is power, never

Underestimating each hour. We take

Our time because we can, and live

The way we want.
