Fast-paced life
No time to go slow
Rushing each day
From the get-go
Ultimate aim:
To fit it all in
This way though
We just exist
From one moment
To the next
Forgetting to smell
The roses instead;
Forgetting
To really live

27 August 2014 at 9:14 pmTo think of it, I have starting taking it all slow ever since I left India. I feel life here is quite relaxed. 🙂
You expressed the Rush very well with your words.
