adulthood is a trap

adulthood is a trap
     we know it will all end soon
        our lives dashing by at great speeds
            we try to tame it
                we try to slow it down
                    yet, it still dashes
                        our pains ebb
                            our joy flows
                                our anxiety speeds it
                                    our peace slows it
                                        it’s a race we don’t choose
                                            yet, win or lose,
                                                     it runs us
                                                           yet, win or lose,
                                                      it’s a race we don’t choose
                                                 our peace slows it
                                            our anxiety speeds it
                                       our joy flows
                                  our pains ebb
                             yet, it still dashes
                   we try to slow it down
               we try to tame it
          our lives dashing by at great speeds
     we know it will all end soon
