I wish that I had time
Time to think
Time to dream
Time to learn
But I live life in a rush
Adrenaline always pumping
Faces meshing together like a water color painting
Always blurry
Never clear
We all live life the same way
Like robots
Following a specific routine
A routine that leaves us no space
No space to think
No space to dream
No space to learn
When the stream of creativity
Eventually runs short
Where will we turn to?
Or will we even turn?
Or will we just fade
Into the nothingness
From which we came?

The last part is a very good question. It feels like society is just sucking your brain dry at times, doesn't it? I feel myself getting dumber everytime I read the letters "lol" on facebook. Whatever happened to creativity and original thinking?
