Poems from a Lost Soul

Lessons in Life

I take a step forward
but fall further behind
Losing sight of myself
was just a matter of time

It seems the faster I run
the slower I go
And the more that I learn
the less that I know

The more money I make
the less that I get
And the less I remember
the more I regret

The more that I do
the less that gets done
And the more that I play
the less I have fun

The more I experience
the less that I dream
Growing up isn't all
what I thought it would be

The illusion of age
that I had in the past
Believe me is something
that I no longer have

I know now the truth
as reality sets in
And I wish I could start
this journey again

I would enjoy my youth
to the fullest extent
Remember and cherish
all the the time that I spent

But alas it can't happen
so I'll take to my grave
The memories I have
of my glory days
