Description: time is my biggest fear...can't do anything to stop it, rewind it, fastforward it, predict it...and it controls everything we do...i'm so frustrated with it but what can i do without it?
So much time goes by... -------------------------------------------
So much time goes by
And I find myself thinking
About the things that could
And the things that should have been
Too lazy to get off my butt to do something
About the situations that you just don’t leave unattended
But I did
So much time goes by
And I find myself wondering
How I got where I am
Too immature to realize
That I missed opportunities
And made wrong decisions
And am still holding on to the fact
That everything happens for a reason
Still not stepping up to the responsibility
Of my messed up and messed over life
Still suffering from the consequences of things
You just don’t do
But I did
So much time goes by
And I realize I don’t have much time left
Too backwards to move forward
From this life I’ve destroyed
Sleeping in a bed of regrets
Wondering is there any hope left
For me
I doubt it
I should learn to get comfortable
In the condition I’ve created for myself
Get used to being lost
Why should the answers come now?
When I’ve spent so much time
Failing to actually search
Yeah, so much time
I’d be all right if it just slowed down
And let me gather myself
But time goes by
My biggest fear.
And am still holding on to the fact That everything happens for a reason
Perfect. That's exactly what I do everyday of my life. It's a constant reminder, and a constant reason to wake up every morning. The past carves the way for the future.
There's no need to rewind, or regret as long as you live by that saying.
With everything that's happend to me, I think I can honestly say that I wouldn't go back and change anything. Even at this very moment, which has been the lowest of my life (so far), I wouldn't change anything.
I have to let life play out. I have to see where this natural progression is taking me. I want to see the conclusions to the "reasons."

Wrong. If you did that, then what can happen for you? By saying that, then you're going against the statement I copied above. There's no need to get used to it, because change takes place every second, every minute of every day. You know that; you've seen that; you've felt that, and you can't deny it. Even small changes turn into large events later on.

The answers will be there, maybe you haven't noticed them yet. In all actuality (I'm probably speaking for myself here) you more than likely have the answers, but don't want to accept them.
yea, I felt this poem, it sounded like it was describing ME. and people like to say that I'm too young to feel this way, 'you got the rest of your life ahead of you' well, technically, a 96yr old also has the rest of their life ahead of them too. very nice, don't change it. ~be easy
"sleeping in a bed of regrets", I'll bet it keeps you up at night. I like really like that line. I never comment on many free/blank verse poems, but I can really relate more to this one. We're suppose to live w/o regret, if only there was a reset button. Keep up the good work.
