Old Man On the Inside

Consuming time is hard
Harder than many people think
Your mind begins to wonder
Pushing boredom to the brink

The brink of disaster
Mind and body begin to work
Motionless your mind moves
Your body begins to hurt

Unsettled and settling
Who can compare between the two
Unfinished buisiness among us
Ten years feeling like two

When will it all end
These Time consuming days
Every year it gets harder
constantly pushing work in my face

Growing old and working 
No sleep to one's eye
The feeling of being useless
The feeling of wanting another life

Take lifes cookie
And crumble it as you wish
You take it with a grain of salt
And try and make another dish
