Notes About The Poem

Listen to poem:

Growl

getting
more and more
protective
particular 
and selective
with my time

truth is
i refuse
to have others decide
how to squander 
what I have left

life is too short
to waste

I am so selfish with my time, it is ridiculous. I will not meet one friend at a time anymore, preferring to invite all nine of them and "get it over with".

Great solution. Time is so limited and we have to save some of it for ourselves. Too much to do. We have to slow down eventually.
