My time is running out
because of the failing
world around me
—everywhere, there is famine
with people dying—
the uncertainty of days
is what bothers me

My time is running out
because of how fast
the world moves around me
—everywhere, there are people
building themselves up
finishing with the
successes I want
and telling me that
I should gather up
my shards and pieces
before my time runs out

My time is running out
because of my own desire
to do everything
—to master all the ways
of life there will be
and to know all things
I never imagine I will
—the glaring ignorance
and rooms for improvement
is what makes me anxious

My time is running out
because of how fast my body
is close to failing me
—how my mind forgets
the things of the past
or how my hands no longer
the workers I raised them to be
or how my legs won't run
the miles I started on this journey

My time is running out
and with that comes
my rest and my sanity
