Light & Shadow 2024: Time Moves Fast

Lost Track of Time

Taylor Morris | 2026

Minutes speed up if I don’t check the clock While scrolling through social media, I miss my one shot I should have been better, but it was all talk The world expects perfection, but I can’t change my plot I lose track of time and all common sense I can’t do things right, no matter the circumstance I miss what I learned and learn what I miss Everything I’ve worked for is gone

My feeble attempts to protect my status, my reputation Don’t fit in the margins or even the page And I have to be just right in order for validation Why do I have nothing to show for my ideas other than rage? The clock screams, “you’re wasting your time!” I can’t keep track of all that has passed My passion and motivation can’t keep up with the climb The timer in my head reminds me I’m in last.

Everyone else understands their direction Meanwhile, I am running with nowhere to go I want to obtain their upward trajection But, I’m on a boat, not knowing how to row
