My Life

My Life

My mind is like a dump truck,
With a full load.
The heavier the weight,
The slower it goes.

My heart is like a race car,
Speeding around the track.
Making turns at too high of a speed,
Leaving little time to react.

My emotions are like a time bomb,
Ticking steadily by.
So I’m leaving for vacation,
And that’s the reason why.

So please don’t try to find me,
Let me have my peace.
It’s my way of calming,
The inner beast.
