life and time

sometimes i feel like life is flying by
so fast i cant stop it
i am outside of it, watching it happen
some days are too much

the anxiety builds
i feel it in my chest
or is it, my sports bra may be too tight?

i crumple to the ground
feigning defeat
fake tears abound

i look around to see if i am gaining sympathy
i see my mom crack a smile at this dramatic scene
then she lays on the ground near me
we both smile and stand together
thank God for ridiculousness

i find there are always moments that far outweigh
if only i can make time my own
and then stop it to notice
slow it down a beat

when that song comes on the radio
singing every word
3 minutes of bliss
(uptown funk, yo)

that first cup of coffee in the morning
no one speaks yet

the sun melting into the ocean
sky on fire
feet deep in the sand

yes. this is my life. this is my time.
