Time Ran Out 
Category: Writing and Poetry 

Time ran out
No more twist and shout
Time is my enemy now
Took everything from me
The world told me to be a moral slave
"Do what you're told and just behave"
Trudging along, with responsibility on my back
A hampster on a tread mill
I have swallowed my bitter pill
Trapped by the opinions and expectations of others
I have to watch young beautiful lovers
I hate my life
But sadly, I love it too
I want to dump my burden and start over
But the love my father denied me
Would not be avenged
I must carry this burden to my death
Protect it with my dying breath
Besides, without meaningful love given freely
To those in need
Life means nothing indeed
My empty soul would slide silently into nothingness
Returning back to the dirt from whence it came
With no reincarnation or ascention
No light at the end of my tunnel
I was taught better than that in my youth
Wholesomeness is beautiful to see
While inside I feel no glee
Pass me the brochure
Where's my Hawaiian shirt
And my goggles
I need to book my stay
So corporations can profit off my need to relax
So I can go back to my treadmill
And put out 25 BTU of energy
And be a copper top battery
For the slave masters
Fucking bastards
While I live this farce of an existence
College girls are going wild in Cancun
Giving freely of their precious gifts
To any drunken schmuck
While I stand here in my Hawaiian shirt
In the lobby of the Hampton Inn
Where's a gun
No not now
There may be something meaningful I need to accomplish
My purpose in this life has to be fulfilled
Please do not dance and flaunt in my face
The things I can't have
Please do not act as though you are so perfect
And I am such a schmuck
That I couldn't have what you have
Even if I wanted to
You are not unique
I've had what you have
I've done what you've done
I've been the most beautiful under the sun
I've jumped up and 6 miles I've run
I never shot anybody with a gun
I did the best I could
In this brief existence
I had my fun and went the distance
I guess all in all it's not all that bad
No reason to be sad
I better start getting glad
My soul will now take it's rest
