Time Passes

It's school time again,
    Summer pasted like a cool breeze.
    Someone stop time,
    I need minute to breathe.
    No one can stop time,
    Not even the greatest person of all.
    Everyone knows it is true,
    The big and the small.
    I am afraid of getting old,
    I'm scared of people dying.
    I know I can't stop time,
    So I sometimes feel like crying.
    I'm only young now,
    But I know I'll be old someday.
    I want to pause time,
    If I could only find a way.
    I know if I spend my whole life,
    Wanting time to slow down.
    I wouldn't find all the things in life,
    That I could've found.
    So now im going to accept,
    That time does go by.
    And not spend my whole life thinking,
    About getting old and when people die.
