Thoughts From a Spec in the Universe

Memories

Time is a wheel that constantly spins
Different strands form with each gift and sin
Remember the times when you were a child
Easy and simple, life had only been mild
Then hit middle school and life was a mess
Holding onto old memories to relieve the stress
Finally you were numb and feeling a bit okay
But high school is now and you can only say
"Maybe it's gets better"; "I promise I'm okay"
You question what comes next as you don't know where to go
College seems best but what major, what minor?
Am I following the proper flow?
Get a job, work hard and continue forward
Pay the bills, get in debt, always feeling horrid
The past will always seem easier as you move forward into the deep
Cold seeps into your bones as you remember memories
How easier it was how much you want to go back
But no matter how hard you try, life is a one way track
Can't reverse
Can't turn away only drag along your way
Need a break?
What a shame.
Memories are your only fame
If you want to be big. you must kill yourself
Become cruel, heartless, only a shell
For Life is cruel and only gives you one gift
Memories of better times so you are too scared to quit
A cruel joke Life plays
But we can never fight back
For as I said Life is already a set, one way track
Life decides, you can't fight
Only give in to it's plights
