Raging Time
Patience and length of time does more than force and rage
This I have come to learn with age
Repeating destructive patterns, like an LP skipping
Over my own radical behaviour I am tripping
Drug and alcohol counselling and 2 self-help courses
Listening to opinions and different voices
Repeated destructive behavior to me abounds
Every 1 to 5 years is what I have found
Increased awareness of my lifelong battle
Need to get back in the saddle
On and off the wagon I get
Repeated patterns with men I'v met
Don't want to go back anymore
It only makes my kidneys sore
At times emotions and feelings nieve
Wondering at times, what I really believe
Trapped in a teenage headspace
Quite often feeling out of place
Escaping reality and visits with the ex
Who knows what will happen next?
To lessen choices and chances
As well as any new romances
Working everyday becomes a must
No time for fun, love or lust
Almighty dollar we chase in haste
There is no more time to waste
It seems in life, we have time or money
Rarely both, seems kind of funny
We laugh, lest we cry
All we can do is try
Grief and anger turns to rage
It can happen at any age
Fears and anxieties I do fear
Never fading year after year
We must put it in God's hands, in his grace
Patience will put karma and them in their place
Relentlessly come, neverendingly go
It would be more fun to see a picture show
Time and money, endlessly competing
Like a garden needing endless weeding
In life, we must find a balance
Lest we're left hanging in the valance
Deciding, is it a want or a need?
Never get caught up in the greed
