I watch behind the glass
Time endlessly turning
Everything moving so damn fast
Ignited, aflame, fire burning
Its all I can feel consuming me
And never will it let me beI watch stationary behind this clear wall
Praying, hoping, willing the glass to break
I see everyone but out to no one I call
All the smiles and words look so fake
Everyone is pushing lives forward
Onto a better life they all move towardWhile I stand here
Behind the glass so clear
Watching everyone able to keep up
Constantly improving their own lives
Always finding ways to fill an empty cup
I wish for just a moment I could strive
To pick myself up from positionTime rushes by day after day
And I am stuck here in my place
While everyone is moving forward and away
Everyone moved forward in life
And I was left behind
In my back and in my heart a knife
One day I hope I can find
A way to resume timeSo I no longer feel behind a glass wall
That I know I will never shatter
No longer have to watch as time moves by
No longer stationary in my place
I will take a step and another
And someday those that moved on without me
And let me watch time move forward
I will never have to look back on them again.Trapped in an enclosure no escape
While I get to watch the lives around
Move on and I stand in my glass enclosure
Wishing I could move around too.But of course this is all just Hypothetical.
