Time

I'm trying so hard.

Time is moving too fast.

There seems to be no way,

to make the good times last.

 

All of their plans

and expectations

make it hard to be me.

 

I'm scared of the future.

I'm living in the past.

The present seems nonexistent

because it can't last.

 

Yesterday is always too close

and tomorrow is too far away

Sometimes i wish i could just live for today.

I hear your thoughts Emily. Life is a challenge sometimes and time the enemy. I also have fears of the future and wake up in the middle of the night all the time. I try to relax my brain and not get flustered with either meditation or even yoga. Good poem and good luck.
