Discharge

Someone said it: Time is a thief.

It takes a part of us each day.

At first, it doesn’t seem too much:

Fall

I walk a fine line

With a clock enshrined

now I’m bolder

with life perspective

of done the mileage

 

I’ve still got something to add

 

I don’t need

to be chic again

I don’t need

to be cool again
