On Edge
On the brink of my end
What more can I take
Time seems to speed pass
As my mind changes pace
How much is left,
For my sanity clock
It must be running out,
Tic Toc, tic toc.
Woe is me
Victim of this corrupt society,
Trying to find, who I am, who I'll be
Fading in and out of my mind to what appears to be reality
The selfishness of my peers
Blends with their pointless complaints
How much can be handled by my sanity clock
No more, endure no more
Tic toc, tic toc
Surrounded by ignorance
Slowly killed by hate
I only choose to love
But I guess in this society, of all things, love can wait
A desire to spread the world with passion
Change views of the state
Is my timing abrupt?
Afraid it may already be too late.
The things that make me tick
Are too relevant in time today
Hate, incompetance, immoral individuals, in the society I reside
How I wonder what is in store,
For my sanity clock
I fear I may lose it all
Tic toc, tic toc
What makes me tick is time running about,
Stressing to get a job done
Not being successful in my future
Because my time ran out
Those who are concerned about the newest fad,
Newest clothes, shoes, phone, or IPad,
Complain about how hard life is when they dont receive,
A child less fortunate, who cant even afford a new bottle of water,
Has lesser complaints yet theyre the one in need
The one with major problems
That child in need,
Wont ever cross their mind,
The children of greed.
Wanting to drift away
To put my mind on a lock
I dont know how much is in store
For my sanity clock
I feel the end is near,
Tic toc, tic toc
