Borrowed Time
Am I living on someone else's clock?
"Borrowed Time"
The words rang in my head
Because for the last few months,
All I keep asking myself is...
"Where has the time gone?"
Time spent worrying around
About person A, B, C, D
Tired by the end of the day
Too exhausted to do my favourite things
Like read
Or indulge in a succulent piece of chocolate cake.
It's a constant struggle, it is
For this balancing act
Requires me to think about
Responsibilities
Mend my own heartbreak
Make time to rediscover myself
All the time.
Everything is urgent
But my own commitment to myself.
I'm trying very hard to find myself
Moments to myself
In this borrowed time that I have,
Until I can find to live on my own terms
On my own clock again.
