Dukkha's Nemesis

The ticking clock theme continues in "It's Time", lyrics for which I wrote years and years ago as a young woman. Having grown up in a chaotic environment as one of ten siblings, "childhood Patty" learned to race the clock above all: race through meals or someone else eats it, race through school assignments or there might not be another quiet moment to grab for hours or days, race from school to your babysitting jobs or you might not earn enough change to buy a new outfit to replace the hand-me-downs. MUCH later, I learned that all I was getting from my racing was anxiety, still prevalent in my life but less in control of me as I've learned to acknowledge its roots. But at the time of writing "It's Time", I was struggling against a sense of sadness and heightened anxiety over relationships, career choices, and a constant shadow of emptiness. So, It's Time is, well, a Time piece, a legitimate observation about Time, Love, Leaving Love, Time Passage, Reclaiming Love, and ultimately Claiming Self and Happiness. Peace - Patty
