The day has passed me by (not to try)

Camille Barr reading her poem The day has passed me by (not to try) from her book Behind the facade.
\\nThe day has passed me by (not to try)
\\nIn the years that have passed by
\\nTime always seemed to be behind
\\nAt 15 I was too old to try
\\nAt 30 I was just old
\\nNow the time really does go by
\\nWithout regard for what you do
\\nPassing by lost opportunities
\\nOn a slideshow of what could have been
\\n\\u2018Walk don\\u2019t run\\u2019 your time is now
\\nIn the only present moment that matters
\\nThese are \\u2018The Good Old Days\\u2019,
\\nEven when they\\u2019re not
\\nThis is the day that passed by without regret
\\nCamille Barr
