Life in the fastlane

No time to stop, no time to lose,
in life, sometimes, we have to choose.
A heartbeat's pace, tough choices we face,
and to our regret, we lost the race.

What's stopping us to slow our pace,
to ignore the pressures that we face?
Are we not in charge of our course,
and make decisions without remorse?

In the end, when lights blur,
with our final rest we must concur,
to find our life fulfilled, our heart at peace,
at that fleeting moment, we can accept our release.
