Time to barrow
Dec 23
They say live like there is no tomorrow,
Because the time you have is borrowed.
But there are some questions brewing inside of me,
Some questions you fail to see.
Ask yourself these,
Maybe you won't sleep with such ease.
What's the point in looking when you have nothing to see?
What's the point in talking when no one listens to me?
What's the point in listening when no one is speaking?
What's the point in loving when it makes my heart stop beating?
What's the point in trusting when people betray?
Lastly, what's the point in breathing when you have no one to take your breath away?
Not everyone has it so easy,
Maybe their feelings are queasy.
Some people can't live like there is no tomorrow,
Because some people don't have time to barrow.

The author's comments:
Some people go through SO much that all they look forward to is tomorrow and they hope that it will be better. So there has to be a tomorrow for them, they don't have the time or strength to act like there isn't a.
