Minutes coming at me, flying fast and true.
No time, any time, just to think things through.
Hours flying faster, gone in just a blink.
Gone before I can adjust or even start to think.
I'm here, I'm here! I shout out to the air,
I am, I am! Alas I am going no where.
Days go by, I'm so alone, no one to see me cry.
I'm destined to live my life alone, I just don't know why.
From frisky teen to young adult, it happened oh so fast.
From mom of four little ones, now all in the past.
I shake my head, I click my teeth, I close my eyes and sigh.
I think that all I have left to me is just to say goodbye.
