Time Poem by Katherine Bryce

Time

Rating: 4.5


time slowly passes
as I sit and wait
for life to change
and take me away

waiting for hope
no it'll never come
so I'll just wait
for the clock to stop ticking

my life is soon over
but my tears are endless
as time just slips away
never to be the same

'you live you learn'
as people say
but I say their wrong
to learn you must live

how can I live
alone like this
so please just
take me now

nothing will change
from it's regular cycle
I know this now
so just let me be free.

I know, but at that time in my life, nothing was going right, people I loved walked out of my life, people I trusted betrayed me and so much more. I'm grown from that experience and learned a lot. I learned that life has it's up's and down's, but we decide which to live out. At that time I couldn't see any light at the end of the tunnel, but then, someone came into my life with a light that can't be burnt out. Life can be painful, and can be joyous. however it all comes down to which we choose to live our lives in: light or darkness. before this person walked into my life, I picked darkness, but now, all I see is light. I was trying to write this poem of a piece people can relate to, we all go through tough times and want our loves to just stop. However at the end of the day, we're thankful for that learning experience.

This poem is very descriptive of the depressed person perspective on life. It says nothing is going to be different if I'm not around, I've see the handwriting on the wall etc. Life is no longer facinating just hard. I've been hurt again. The poem is good but wrong about life's possibilities if you just continue the journey to it; s natural demise there are pleasant surprises ahead.
