Ode: A lyric poem of some length, usually of a serious or meditative nature and having an elevated style and formal stanzaic structure.
Maybe it's not an ode then....
Lyrics
It seems like yesterday
When things just seemed so damn clear
Time passed unrelentlessly
Now all that's left is fear
Of knowing that tomorrow
Is just a day away
At least it reassures me that
Today will never stay
Slow down, take your time
Hurry up, don't be late
Speak your mind, now shut your mouth
No one's listening anyway
Days don't seem long enough
To get everything done
Rushing, hurrying, moving fast
Is never any fun
Tomorrow's just a day away
But somehow it never comes
Still days turn into weeks and months
As time just comes undone
Slow down, take your time
Hurry up, don't be late
Speak your mind, now shut your mouth
No one's listening anyway
