Poetry : If I had a Timemachine

 Every now and then

The day will break

And you open your eyes

Thinking, not again

And you push yourself 

out thinking, this is how it must be 


You're young and sweet and all of fourteen, 

but you look like you've been at it since sixteen

Oh darling! When did you get so old?


Remember the time without a care in the world

When you awoke, 

just to see the clouds swirl

Oh dear! Where did those days go away?


Why don't you let yourself go have fun?

Play around , goof around, life has just begun

Are you scared people won't like you then?


Oh darling! They don't like you anyway


Did you think there was a purpose to life?

That we wake up for a reason that God has spoke

But sweetheart, no one cares you exist


This life, it's only for us

You can find what you want, or just grow old

If today was the end

Would you be proud of yourself?




You can get what you want

Or what everyone else would want

There is no way to sit on the fence, 

So , tell me, Who do you choose?


Will you just let yourself sing and dance?

Does it not get easier to shoo blues away

when you are whatever you are

The people, they will be swayed


And I know it's hard to listen to me

Since, I sit so deep, 

But it sure is easier than listening to everyone?


So listen, what do you choose?
