Paradox
One second a day
one day a second
life goes on forever
life went by fast
too much time wasted
not enough time to waste
one second a day
one day a second
enough is enough
but there is never enough
we need nothing
we need everything
give more
take more
enough is enough
but there is never enough
we conquer fear
fear conquers us
fear nothing
fear everything
protect me
but who'll protect you
we conquer fear
fear conquers us
friendship lasts forever
but forever does end
love is eternal
but eternity is is temporary
everyone is with us
but we are truly alone
friendship lasts forever
but forever does end
one second a day
one day a second
enough is enough
but there is never enough
we conquer fear
fear conquers us
friendship is forever
but forever does end

I was inspired to write this peice because of the end of summer. I looked back over the summer and thought "wow, this went by fast." So I wrote a poem about it. I really hope that people start to think about their life. I hope they take the positive side of the poem though.
