Time

Something, I didn’t want to read,

Avoidance,

It is news,

I did not want to see,

Avoidance,

Someone, I didn’t want to be,

Avoidance,

Still, it attaches itself to me,

Running harder and fast,

Fading, farther, deeper into an empty stare, 

Staring at my breathing air,

Tired soul, tired bones,

Aching chest, a fatigued zest for life,

This working life, not working out for me,

Time doesn’t stop,

Time holds no remorse of dragging you, 

Into its future, 

You can stop to gather yourself, 

But Time isn’t going to wait,

It is Time that knows all-knowing,

It is Time that is certain, 

Ticking even in the moments when all is still,

A single message can travel across the globe,

In every language, every time zone,

The Revelation,

Time is King.
