growing up


 I used to be a freshman eagar to get out of class , now im a graduating senoir wondering  what happened to all the time .

I feel like im growing up too fast , Like all the sand is on one side of the hour glass.

Here lately ive been just going through the motions not saying a word -i must be a mime.

just thinking about my jounry ahead my throat closes up. i find myself staring into my rim filled cofffe cup  trying to figure out how to stop to time how to make it last.

'till i met wise man whom said "do not worry about how fast but whether you had a blast and who cares what happened to  the time ,enjoy your life because as you've herd before, you only live one time."
