Clocks That Don’t Keep Time

They say life’s not a race and I’m not behind But my biggest enemy is the clock that keeps time I fall down and fall short and try to catch up But it seems that I’m just never enough I know it’s a lie and that I may not be right We’re all on different journeys, we live different lives Walking paths that turn and bend and turn again I just can’t seem to get out of my head Days turn to months and months into years Until yesterday is a memory of laughter and tears Still it seems that I’m left in the dust the world made While everyone else is ahead on the roads that they paved Maybe when I’m older, I’ll live in a house by the sea Sit by the window where I can see The waves crash in and roll back out I’ll stay in that house that is mine With a clock that is broken and doesn’t keep time
