Time

The weight of the world presses upon my chest
They pull from the left
They pull from the right
I'm pulled in every direction
My life is not my own
 
Time is my nemesis
There's never enough
A race against time
Oh, how I hate the clock
I'm ready to explode at the toc
 
Time presses upon my chest
This world asks too much
I am one man
I must deliver
For, it is my nature
 
My will is there, not enough time
Their needs are here, I am a man
Their needs become my will
The click ticks still
I must not fail, I will always prevail
 
The clock ticks again
The weight intensifies
The pressure builds
I must release!
A loud thunderous curse!
 
Those around me in shock
What is wrong with this man?
Calm him if you can
They don't understand
I just need some time!
 
I'm like a volcano
I sit, calm and still
A gentle soul
When the pressure builds
I need to explode
 
The explosion devestates!
I am a dragon
I do not breathe fire.  No, worse!
I breathe words, hateful words, hurtful words.  I become hate
 
The calm will come again
Just give me some time
The explosion was brief
I needed to release!
I am only, a man
