Mine For The Taking

I’m taking my time

I spent my whole life chasing it,

like I’m running towards a finish line

Too much of it wasted

I was tested but I aced it

I’m moving at my own pace

In my own lane, a one man race

Mindful of how I spend it

Not everyone is worth it being extended

Even though I have plenty of it

Spend it with the ones who really love it

I’m taking my time

No longer killing it like it’s a crime

Stepping through a new portal

Living life like I’m immortal

inspirational
