I’m looking into the future

second after second ticking by

-Wait

wait

wait

wait

WAIT

YOU’RE GOING TOO FAST

the days feel like minutes

and hours feel like seconds

I was a teenager seconds ago

now i’m an adult

rushing through life hoping to get it right

**tic tock**

I’ve made bad decisions

no time to go back and fix them

**tic tock**

wait- there’s so much i wanted ...

I hate time.

The ticking of clocks, serving only to remind me that _my_ time is limited.

I'm indecisive.

How can one make a decision knowing that every move may be their last?

Tick, Tock.

When my time is nearing its end, who's to say I won't regret everything?

Fulfillment.

How can I be sure that I'm making the right choice?

Love.

I..—

I don't know what that is.

Tick. Tock.

Time doesn'...

_Tick. _

_Tick. _

_Tick. _

_Tick. _

You hear the time tick down

Its sand a silken gown

Sand’s hands are wrapped around

Your ever-thinking crown

_Tick. _

The sound infests your mind

_Tick. _

A never-ending sign

_Tick. _

That one day you will die

_Tick. _

And your life will be mine

_Tick. _

It’s growing faster still

_Tick. _

_Tick. _

As time does drink its fill

...

Standing still or flying by

Time seems to move as it pleases.

Though I do my best and try

I can’t take it all in fast enough.

The clock stares down

The face of it moving time along.

Moving to drown

The the simplicity of life.

Stopping it would be ideal

But only a fool would try.

The clock it likes to steal.

Maybe I am foolish after all....

Time is a cunning thief , no one’s a boss when the silent stop watch ticks away from life wicked tricks the ones that seem to kick .

Death is a silent watcher one wrong move and you’re a goner , slowly lost in the unknown with no way to get home .

The reaper of my mind chasing me through time , leaving me lost as my feeling are tossed to the side as you begin the ride .

I was a living curse br...

At 10:00, you were born

With your bright giggle

Filled with love

In those blue eyes

You got from me

At 11:00, you turned two

Chirping like a parrot

Rarely silent

In your grand adventures

At noon, you enter the doors

Of kindergarten

Backpack in tow

Ready for what’s ahead

You start to resemble daddy more

At 1:00, the real change begins

Your body prepares to blossom

Into something new

You’re ...

At 945pm our fingers entwined,

2am you did find,

That your dreams were ending

730am your alarm did sing.

At 1230pm you daydreamed of him,

530pm you wished for his lips on your skin.

The hands on the clock not the ones you needed,

730pm cursing that your dreams hadn’t succeeded.

At 10pm your fingers grasping at air,

1am laying alone in the bed you did share.

230am typing up a poem,

5am waiting f...

_Tick_

I often see time falling away from me without my control

The way sand slips through your fingertips no matter how hard you try to hold on

_Tock_

I look at the clocks on my walls and can just see my life flying away from me

As the hours go by

Minutes

Seconds

It’s slowy disappearing

Slowy slipping away from me

_Tick_

And as the hand makes his way around the circle

My anxiet...

time is passing by too quickly.

all concept of it is lost.

days of the week

have lost all meaning,

weeks go by in a blur

and yet i am constantly

staring at the clock,

terrified i don't have enough of it.

with each tick of the clock's hands,

my heart races more and more

because i know its passing

and i can't stop it,

not even for a second.

the world keeps spinning

and people keep going

and going a...

There I was, a kid

Under the tick and tock

Of my aggressively progressive clock

Racing for the end of my

High school year

To enter what I was to choose

College or career

The pressure of choosing one thing

to be for the rest of my life

Whether it’s teacher, or doctor,

Business woman or midwife

The plan is set in stone

I’ll be this one

This is the way I should go

All to come to a fork in the r...
