There's My life

There is my life
I see it happening like watching a movie or a play
The people I know; actors saying their lines
The characters change so slowly that I hardly notice
I’d better appreciate my kids as children because they'll grow
I'll be old having not appreciated being able to jump and run
I should exercise while I can still be strong
I should appreciate life more because it is passing by

I shouldn’t be surprised
I have been a child
I have been an adolescent
I have become an adult
I do not feel “adult”
I still want to build things
I still want to decide what to be when I grow up

There is my life
I’m watching it too passively
I sometimes don’t even feel it
The time passing
I can sit for hours and not pay attention
How much longer can I possibly live
I’ll never know how effective I was

I’m not sure still what my job is
I’m not sure still what it is that I came to do
I used to be sure that I would know
I’m less sorry for the mistakes I made
I’m more sorry for the time I wasted
There is my life
It’s happening right now
