Dalton Ogletree Poet Rhyme

Time 4

October 2025


Yeah…
Time’s a thief, but I’m still breathin’…
Mmm… yeah…

I’ve been lost in my head again,
Tryna make sense of the mess I’m in.
They say life’s a test, I just play to win,
But the clock keep tickin’, it don’t make amends.
See too many gone, skeletons and sins,
Tryna make peace but it’s hard within.
If I die tonight, would they call me friend?
Would they love me real or just pretend?

I’ve been searchin’ for a reason,
Lookin’ for truth, but it’s hidin’ in the deep end.
Demons whisper when I’m dreamin’,
Tellin’ me time’s the real secret.

We’re all just livin’ on borrowed time,
Tryna find light in a dark design.
I don’t know why, but I’m still gon’ try,
Even when I’m hurt, even when I cry.
Yeah…
We’re all just livin’ on borrowed time.

Money can’t buy back the seconds lost,
Every breath we take got a hidden cost.
I done seen love fade, I done seen it frost,
But I still keep faith, no matter the loss.
Heaven or hell, I’m stuck in between,
Reality’s cold, but I chase my dreams.
Time ain’t kind, but it’s what it seems,
Every second’s gold — or gasoline.

I can’t lie, I’m scared sometimes,
Seein’ people fall like sands in lines.
If I had one wish, I’d press rewind,
Go back to when the stars aligned.

We’re all just livin’ on borrowed time,
Tryna find peace in a world that lies.
Maybe one day I’ll touch the sky,
‘Til then, I’ma live, I’ma ride, I’ma try.
Yeah…
We’re all just livin’ on borrowed time.

Don’t waste it, don’t fake it…
Life’s short, can’t replace it…
Love hard, don’t break it…
Yeah…
We’re all just livin’ on borrowed time.
