Frozen

This.

This.

It is my greatest wish.

If I had one wish,

to turn back time

or freeze it in place.

Every day.

Every day.

Make haste.

Make haste.

There's never enough time in the day.

Do this.

Do that.

Help them.

Work. Flat.

I lie on my back.

Awake.

I fight my sleep,

For, tasks, they creep.

Never enough time in the day.

Awake, to work.

Then eat? Maybe.

Then sleep? Maybe.

It seems, maybe.

I'll never catch up,

it seems... maybe.

That I can only

Pray.

That one day.

My dismay.

Goes away.

One day,

I'll catch up,

or learn to say 'No'.

Not so.

I cannot.

Things are hard.

Too much on my plate.

I wonder.

I wander.

I wait.

I stop.

I breathe.

But, only for a moment.

Busy whirlwinds spin.

I can never truly rest.

People say, "Do what's best.

FOR YOU".

But, I can't

seem to comprehend

the trend

that draws me in.

I should take out more time for myself.

Put some of these tasks on the shelf.

But, still, it will seem

that it's ever a dream

to freeze time and complete

everything that I need

To do.

It's true.

But, one thing I know...

if time's truly stopped,

things sure would be slow.

so many would drop.

Unless I could choose

what's frozen and loose.

The sun wouldn't rise or set in it's beauty.

I may not be able to complete any duties.

How could I make calls if everyone's stuck?

How could you search Google if net's in a rut?

How could you say hi to family and friends?

The time in time frozen is quite a lonely end.

So, if I could freeze time, could I record?

How would that work? Think too much, it's absurd.

But, putting the logic far aside, gone,

I don't think I'd freeze it at all for too long.

I may get some rest, record, sing a song,

but then I'd press play and go trudging along,

Busy,

Busy,

Busy,

Bee.

Busy,

Busy,

Busy,

Me.

Busy.

Busy..

Busy...
