Limbo


It's easy to go into a state of limbo

Like you're on in a continued state of not needing to know 

It doesn't help that the time going slow

Especially when you can't get in the flow

Trying to put all of this knowledge somewher to stow

Life keeps on moving but you feel that you're standing in the same place

Even though you're trying to move like you're getting chased

But sometimes you're mind is so numb that you're spaced

out thinking about what you're gonna face

now that things are hitting you like a mace.

It's funny how everyones ignoring the present

like nothing can go wrong cuz they heaven-sent

Not thinking about what things mean but about what they meant

Going all out and crazy like it's right before lent

But none of them are gonna repent.

It's funny being so close yet so far

Like you wanna just jump in a car 

to cross the finish line and jump over a bar

and do it as quickly as possible without a scar

It's limbo, cuz nothing in the present matters

In just a few weeks, everythings gonna scatter

Some will make it and be all the chatter

Some of us will just land on the poo poo platter

Yet others will just do what they can to clim the ladder

It's limbo, everything needs to get done

And people put they're pressure and expectations like they're the one

Who's gonna do all the work- them none,

It's limbo, we're still together but we already separated 

Acting like we've done something even though we haven't even made it

It's limbo and it's excruciatingly slow.
