Running On Time

Life’s A Chase

Why does life have to run on time

Why do I have to wait for opportunities

Why do things close and open on a certain date

Life shouldn't have to be a chase

But I'm sorry that is not the case

I’m missing deadlines

I couldn't focus on too many things at the same time

Why do they act like experience doesn’t come with time

So many rejections, but I know I’ll be fine

Just waiting on my time to shine

Whoever said this wouldn't be hard lied

Trying to make sure a tear don’t slide

I got to keep my head held high

Remember every good thing takes time

    Wonderful, Emily! You're a beautiful girl. Let me tell you, I love your name. It's my favorite name after I read the book "The Do-Over". Reading your name brings a smile on my face
