Lesser Years
Are there times simply too late?
When no longer you know you can
When time wasn't at all known to await
To only know towards the end
Years having lived and living for
There are just some things one can no longer do
However the reasons can finally bore
It's become when you knew... how willing are you?
The many years living by, we ascertain
Never really knowing what is for given time
Only because the world never stop to change
Am I aged to no longer be afraid to be left behind?
Years falling without substance, without form
We created our years without time concern
And we live for ourselves to one day begone
Are there more in our lesser years we forget to earn?
How can anyone love again?
Doing what was thought to be done once more?
The difference we only fought to be for the same
Yet the same... have we known to fight for?
