blink


If you take a second and just look around..

left, right, up, and then down..

I want you to think to yourself what happens when your eyes close.

Every time you blink that's a second wasted..

But now I want you to stop and let this thought settle

That when you blink you don’t lose a second but a million years!

because the earth is 4.543 billion years old and that's considered new.

everytime we blink we lose our chance to become the most valuable person alive.

but that happens and we can't change that but when you think but and I mean to when you are a child.

When you are sad you blink more than normal.. this creates tears but it also take away time you could've spent happy.. you choose

Hiya, My names Peter but I go by Dezzy. I'm from California and and I've lived here most my life. While I'm just a basic kid, I go to school hang out with a few friends and try to avoid a lot of drama. I find the poetry helps with my depression so I write when I can, I hope you enjoy reading a few of my poems
