"Too Much Time"

At the root of insanity

Is having too much time on your hands-- 

Too much time to think-- 

Too much time to remember past hurts 

And to wish things could be different.

Too much time spent alone, 

Staring at these four walls 

With too much time to think, 

To remember past hurts 

And to wish things were different.

Got to rid myself of this insanity. 

I'll busy myself with a flurry of activities 

And seek the companionship of others. 

They´ll tell me time heals all wounds,

But for now I'll still cry-- 

When I have too much time to think 

And remember past hurts, 

Wishing things are different.

--Jo A. Witt (1994)
