It's crushing down my shoulders,
It's thrashing on my door,
It's jabbing every muscle,
And it's making sure I'm sore.
It's taunting me with teases,
It's screaming in my face,
It's chiding every move I make,
To put me in my place.
It's tangoing with misery,
It's beating with its fists,
Checking who it's next target is:
Consulting all its lists.
I watch it wreak its havoc.
I watch it destroy lives.
Time will always run too quickly:
Achieve for what it strives.
