A Sense of Urgency

I feel like I am the only one

With a sense of urgency to get things done

I’m always running against time, it appears

That I would run out of time I fear

To accomplish everything that I want to do

To maintain a worklife balance too

*

I keep wondering how others around me

Go to life at a pace leisurely

I often feel that people slow me down

I confess that I am stressful to be around

When I am want a project to be completed at my desired speed

I get impatient when other people extra time need

*

Unfortunately, this trait has prevented me

From working well on teams, solitary I prefer to be

So that I can work at my pace, driven by a sense

Of perpetual urgency, with a focus intense

*

I have been told to slow down, I’ve considered it too

But doing things fast is exhilarating, it is what I like to do

One day I might be forced to slow down, I know

Bit until then I’d rather go fast than go slow
