Hurry Up!

Sixty seconds wasted

A minute is gone

The clock ticks on

A regimented march

Left, right, left

Cramming up so much

Whizzing past life

A moment wasted

A Moment gone

Hurry up, there’s no time

No time for breaks

No time to waste

No time, make haste

Let’s do it, fast

So hurry up

Slow and steady never won a race

Hurry up, there’s no time to waste

Fill up those moments between life and death

With something, don’t think, just do

Hurry up!

I am afraid!

Those little fears

Raising their sting

With their deadly venom

Leaving me numb

Those little fears

Deep down inside

As I look below

Afraid to take the plunge

Across that little stream

Those little fears

When I look into those glowing eyes

In the dark, eerie

I stand rooted

Scared to even breathe

Those little fears

As I look into the future

Perplexed and unsure

I stand still

Not daring, afraid

Those little fears

Those little doubts

Those little blocks

From somewhere deep within

Tormenting

Those little fears

Will cease to be

When I will

When I dare

Those little fears

It’s just games they play

in my mind.
