Time

I've said it so much,

but I will say it again

I can't believe there is so much left

The pressures, the struggles,

the tests I will never pass

It seems that they find a way to make it last

Then they find out how to take it back

They cut it, twist it, shape it to their desires

They use it to drive me to insanity

Their actions make me question their humanity

Can't they see that we need breaks?

Nice, long, clean ones that last a while

They take our "whiles"

 and their whiles last so long

But at the same time, 

A while is something I don't have

I wish I could spend it freely,

but they keep taking it away

Time is something I can't take back

Time is something that won't last

Time is something I don't have
