Never Enough Time

I wonder how long
It takes to be perfect
There is so much trying
Never arriving
Tell me how
I come to achieve a balance
Before I fall to my demise
Crying

I wonder how long
It takes to be happy
There is so much worrying
Never appreciating
Tell me how
I come to understand my self
Before I run out of time
Dying
