Time

Kindergarten days, matching back packs and lunch pales 

Racing to your class dot when you hear the school bells 

Teachers telling you to dream big, use your imagination 

6 years old thinking of a master plan for your final destination 

Middle school rolls around now you hot shit 

Trying to accept your identify in a crowd asking yourself “do I fit” 

Wanting to blend in but that never was apart of the dream 

Wait here’s high school this is the big scene 

Not for exposure or the popularity 

But the reality of adult hood coming next after the celebration of seniority 

Caps thrown in the air, fireworks and balloons everywhere; flowers, happiness, and excitement overwhelming your perspective 

4 years later, wondering what your next step is 

Maybe you went to college, maybe you didn’t choose that route 

But what happened to that dream in kindergarten you were dreaming about 

A bump in the road or no desire at all, a dream and some work can lead you to your next call 

But once again fitting in the crowd and celebrating was not apart of the vision 

All those times you were side tracked and making the wrong decision is the reason you’re at home reminiscing 

On the good days when life was so sweet 

Being forced to take a nap and now you get no sleep 

Now you’re trying to go back hoping you can do it all over 

Changing a few things or wishing time went slower 

But time is inevitable and we all live the same 24 hours 

You gotta dream it, think it, and go get it, and prevent yourself from settling for those part time hours.
