time


sometimes it all happens so fast

in the blink of an eye it begins and it ends

before you even notice it

it's over and it's too late

 

lie down and get up all at once

it seems trivial to do so after so much

because so little is all there seems to be left

 

once you realize that it ends just as soon as it begins

you will be

the best you

you can be

because there's no time for you

to be anyone else
