Youth Is Wasted on the Young

Even with the benefit of time
and having done many different things in my life,
I feel like I missed the boat.
I started too late.
Sometimes it makes me think of Pink Floyd and the song, Time,
and the first time I realized
they were talking about life and how due to static state we often don't realize time is wasting.
I've missed the starting gun.
Yet I look at some others and see them not even yet approaching the gate.
And some seem okay with that?
I just feel like time is now increasingly short...because it is.
And I need another go at it before I'm gone.
It is indeed my mid-life crisis.
And I go it alone, as usual, because while it is somewhat terrifying for me,
it must look really crazy to anyone else.
Sorry you had to see this.
