Out of Control


Life is out of control

It’s like when you’re going down a big slide

And at first it’s fun

But then you start to go too fast

And you try to put your feet on the edge of the slide to stop yourself

But you’re going too fast and you can’t stop

You can barely even slow down

That’s how life is

One second you’re happy and having fun

The next everything is coming towards you too fast and you can’t stop

Or even slow down
