Funny how time slips Away...

Time slipped away
Seems now I'm just weary.
Settled in,
But now, so leery.

Experience taught.
But so many emotions just wasted.
Joy given,
But not enough tasted.

Waking up in the morning,
Just trying to get out of the bed.
Knowing it's all the same,
When everything's been done and said.

Seeing myself,
The girl in the mirror.
Wanting to be more,
But knowing happiness isn't any nearer.

Friends have come and gone.
Family has a past.
Keep striving for something,
Something that might last.

Wanted to have so much more,
But never knew how to attain.
Stop hurting the ones I love,
Stop causing them pain.

How do you give something
You don't have inside?
How do you stop running away
from where demons reside?

When you've made mistakes
And want to make it right.
How do you grow up
And finally see the light?

Everything is changing fast.
Want so much more,
But yet keep picking
At the same old sore.

Is there ever a time
When it just all goes away.
A time when things are simple
And you just know your way?

Or is it that,
You get that with strife?
Keep on kicking,
And know it's only life?

I never see more
Than my own pain.
Ignoring those I love,
Even when I know it's not sane.

Sometimes you love someone
But yet it's not quite enough.
You could give more,
If only you could get over the other stuff.

It's hanging you up,
And not making you what you should be.
It's putting blinders on your eyes,
When you should see the things
you're supposed to see.
