Sometimes I feel like I’m running out of time

As if I'm falling behind

 

I don’t know why

Or how to stop this feeling

 

But something tells me it isn't fleeting


I spend hours on end trying to think of

What could I do, to forget about this feeling

And go about my day


But it's as if these thoughts have a grasp on me

As if they won’t let go


I wonder if it has anything to do with me


Because it feels as though I have so much to do

Yet I stay frozen to my seat


As time keeps moving


The more of it I spend doing nothing


The more it makes me want to do something


So here I am writing this piece

For anyone who will listen and hopefully

It will bring me peace.

I wrote this poem during a very stressful time in my life to express how I felt.
