Everywhere I look
I see evidence of time passing
Years keep going by
But I can't see myself change
Friends come and go
Along with loved ones
Pets or people
Yet I feel I'm standing here
Left behind alone
High school done
Then college
What is next for me
I have debts on my shoulders
I need to get a job
Yet I feel a need to rest
How can time keep soldiering on
How can it not get tired
Tired of things changing
Tired of moving on
Why can't time just stop
For a moment
The sun rises at 6 am
And sets at 7 in the evening
The colors lighting up the sky
As day turns to night
Then day
Rain pours
And leaves fall
Snow blows in December
Then rain comes again
And the grass turns green in spring before dying into brown in summer
