      Just Give Me a Minute


      I'm living with something that isn't there

      a most mysterious nothing
      a construct of my earthbound mind,
      unique in the Milky Way
      
      although it is neither here nor there
      nor does it exist at all,
      it's giving me the hardest time
      demanding my life and my money
      
      it latches onto my mind each day
      makes my waking hours go runny
      counts every second, month and year
      a race of my own making
      
      futuristic it's a sharp pain in the throat
      with fear, apprehension and worry
      about all that has not happened yet
      and most likely never will 
      
      obsolete it comes with a blow to the back
      fills my guts with guilt, shame and regret
      all the things buried by dust of the past
      dregs and dross I can no longer change
      
      this most mysterious nothing called time
      has superpowers almighty 
      it pushes me straight out of my life
      I feel chased from cradle to grave
      
      I try to ignore it, find peace in my heart
      live in the present now, take a break 
      from my thoughts to experience for once
      a fleeting moment of bliss
      
      without the stress of future and past
      my soul finds the freedom she needs
      allows me to be myself for a jiff
      if I can find the right timing
      
      my soul seeks her way home whenever 
      I manage to squint beyond  
      the senseless chase of nothings
      on the merry-go-round to nowhere
      
      Just give me a minute to step out of 
      this race against the time of this world
      so I can live in my own time at last
      if only for a short while
      )))O(((
