Analysis of Racing Time



In the rushing tide, I'm lost
Time slips away, can't keep up the cost
Tasks have swallowed me whole
Hurrying everywhere, like the wind, I stroll.

I'm caught in the whirlwind of time, unable to keep pace. My tasks have engulfed me, leaving me consumed. Everywhere I go, I rush like the wind.
