Prime from Imminence by Magsten

Sometimes I wish that I could freeze the world
No age obstructing, no time to pass
Yet with my age it seems this noose is choking me
As my imagination sprawls out into space

Why so young desire just to find a place in life?
Why right now desire to find a love surpassing time?
Why with so much time want for it just to hurry up?
So I can lose these expectations to just enjoy my prime

It seems that I desire the thing they call the trap
And yet I can't erase the bigger picture
The world so overwhelming, our time that ends so short
Yet I think in a bubble that leaves me in cage

The dream I had, it showed not a love affair,
But destiny for something more with such a greater cost.
The premise shown was limiting, but in my heart I felt so free
To see her right in front of me wanting such a dream.

Yet barely scratching twenty years,
I still can't scratch the surface
Of what I am and what I want and what just is my purpose.

I look and listen, pray and sing, searching for the answer
While time flies by in spite, in vain, distracts me from the footprints
The world cries criticism of a life contrived and small
Yet in my eyes the thing they slander brings me peace of mind.
