There's no Stopping Time

There's no Stopping Time

A Story by N Gaarde
"

A walk through life

"
Time is flying by like there's no tomorrow,
And I can't do a thing to stop it.
I wish I could, but there's no denying,
That maybe I really want it to go on.

When I was five, I couldn't wait to be ten
That way I could go on all the rides alone.
But when I turned ten, all I wished for was to be a teen.

Then thirteen came and I grew fast.
But I wanted faster.

I wished for age like a poor man begs for money.
So when I was eighteen, I wanted to be twenty one.
So I drank until I got drunk and pretended to be someone who I wasn't.
Sick and hungover,
I wished I was older,
So I'd be wise enough not to do it again.

Time flew by like there was no tomorrow
And I didn't do a damn thing to stop it.
