Seconds

by Lilychu   Nov 2, 2019


Every second
I am born into the world
Every second
I let the new adventure unfold

Every second
I wait for the lesson to start
Every second
I graduate in art

Every second
I become a loving girlfriend
Every second
A lot of friendships I will mend

Every second
I can begin to start my career
Every second
I will learn to fight my fear

Every second
Money is what I'll get
Every second
I'll tell my children not to fret

Every second
I become older
Every second
My blood becomes colder

Every second
My death approaches fast
Every second
I'll be gone at long last

Every second
My soul will finally rise
Every second
All I can do is cry

Every second
I tell everyone I love them
Every second
The seconds count down from 10

Every second
Now becomes one
And at the last second

My body goes numb
