However Many
Life bustling all around me
As fast and unhinged as I once was
Seems crazy that I was caught up
Entranced within the walls
Of that fanatical maze
Sold on the idea
More is better and faster is smarter
That’s a pace for the young
Going nowhere fast
I wouldn’t switch my age
With just about anyone
Finally living and appreciating
Every precious moment
Remembering life is about options
Not being bullied
By should and musts
I’d be damned if
I let you cheat me
Of my last few days
However many
