The haunting of lateness
Sometimes do you ever feel like
Time is going too fast
You can’t catch up even if you try hard
Your best is only good enough for some people
Deadlines fall behind, stress enters in like a bad dream enters a child at night
You feel like you are...
My brain is about to explode
Have you ever tried to stuff a crazy amount
of marshmallows in your mouth all at once?
That’s how my mind is working right now

I’ve been told to breathe, you got this...
When life doesn’t go your way!
You see the hill
It’s too far
It’s too high
You start walking
You slip
Fall
Fall
Fall
Mudslide
Crash into a rock
Skin your knee
Hair ripped out of places
You fall and you can’t get up
Well that’s life
Sometimes it doesn’t go your way!

Savages
They call us savages
They say we are only here to work
Make babies and do what we are told
Don’t speak
Don’t have an opinion
Work harder
Work harder
Worker harder!
WH-TCH!
In my mind
I am working harder
I’m tired
I’m Tired
I’M TIRED!
WH-TCH!
My opinion even inside my own brain
Doesn’t matter!
Keeping working
Keeping working
KEEP WORKING!
