can work and play really balance?

drowning drowning drowning.
everything just rushes past while
you work your way, trying to
keep yourself from drowning in it
and when you feel like you're done,
no. it all catches up with you.
and then you're drowning once again.
every moment you put off,
you've just made ten times the load
for yourself. every time you breathe,
no, there's no time to breathe,
to eat, to sleep, to live, to laugh.
except only when i'm with you.
That's the only time that everything
seems to stop catching up with
me and then it all freezes.
then you leave the picture.
and it's this vicious cycle again.
