Time

seconds,
minutes,
hours,
days,
months,
years.
i'm scared to fall asleep,
because what if i miss my years
while i fall asleep for seconds.
is time just a concept?
if so, why do we need it so much?
If time is so important
then why do we lose it? 
can't i just live without the passing time,
without the anxious feeling
of a threatening life?

Time doesn't wait but we can always stop and smell the roses.
