Life Against Time

I am standing still yet the room still spins Life passes in the time I've lost I am here yet my mind wanders a drift This love wasn't worth the time it cost You're looking at me for answers But no words are left to write I look to you with questions But you steadily remain out of sight I choose to stand because there's no time for sleep Sleeping is just flirting with death You see only what your heart believes Your mind fogs in cold frosted breath Life plays like a game and everyone can't win Some one is bound to take the fall Fly high when mercury hits the sun Then baby step back and learn to crawl Change is the growth on which I rely To remain unchanged is simply to die Refrain from the possible reasons of why It's easy to pretend the truth is a lie

Like the last stanza. Change keeps us from stagnating. Keep writing. Sara
