Lessons In Life

I take a step forward  
but fall further behind
Losing sight of myself  
was just a matter of time
 
It seems the faster I run  
the slower I go
And the more that I learn  
the less that I know
 
The more money I make  
the less that I get
And the less I remember  
the more I regret
 
The more that I do  
the less that gets done
And the more that I play  
the less I have fun
 
The more I experience  
the less that I dream
This growing up isn't all  
that I thought it would be
 
The illusion of age  
that I had in the past
Believe me is something  
that I no longer have
 
I now know the truth  
as reality sets in
And I wish I could start  
this journey again
 
I would enjoy my youth  
to the fullest extent
Remember and cherish  
all the time that I spent
 
But alas it can't happen  
so I'll take to my grave
The memories I had
of my glory days
