(haven't been writing in so long, this is impromptu, bear with me y'all)
When time was on my side I
could sit on the edge of my bed and cry
turn to my side and lie
On my back and ask God why...
When time was on my side I
would await my time to die
would answer the phone dry
wonder why elders thought me spry...
When time became my enemy
I had to redefine my destiny
Look for all that I could see
Change the way I portrayed me
When time became my conquerer
I had to stop being a ponderer
Grow up and realize that a wonderer
could never ever turn back the hands....
Now I am regretting that I took for
granted what could not be erased
