The time is here
My flaws got the best of my years
My hair is now all grey
The day is now dark
The sun no longer shines

Buried in mystery
Lockdown in pain
The world keeps moving
But my world has been shut down
The time has come

Don't look at me like that
Please no side talks
Face me upfront
And say it to my face
I know what I am

A perfect example of a failure
Perhaps a big mess right now
But are you any better?
Your glowing skin and my wrinkled skin is only the difference between us
You are just a perfect me

You doubt my words right?
But if you mock me rather than learn from my mistakes
If you don't seize your day
If you don't make hale while the sun shines
You are going to be me

THE END

Swrs, you're good, ...keep it up

Swrs, you're good, ...keep it up

Thank you
