As Time Goes By

by Cari   Jan 23, 2006


As time goes by,
I watch my life go with it.
But what is time, what is life?
What are they,
Really?

The same thing happens every day.
I wake up,
Go to school,
Come home,
And go to sleep.
Sleep just to wake up to the same thing as the day before.

Why bother?
What's it to me?
Even if I tried to make it change,
I couldn't do it.

As time goes by,
I see the same thing.
Guys runnin' the streets to make some money.
Girls going into the hospital with STDs and early pregnancies.

If seeing this every day means to keep on living,
Then I don't want to live.

So what is time, what is life?
As time goes by,
I watch my life going with it.
