Meditations on Time
When I was a child I saw with wide eyes-
Peering upward, observing in silence
And covered my heart with a thick, dark guise
A life that consisted of reliance
Caught between words that were sharper than knives
They flew in the air with unfailing wings
And settled on high shelves, ruining lives
I thought the future marked better things
Oh how wrong I was, only wish I’d known
Wished away time I could never regain
The future is here and the truth I’m shown
The mask I wear is based in childish pain
For time passes by in the slightest blink,
In my age all there’s left to do is think
