Time


Clocks tick-
Time lost
Strokes abrupt
Arms spin-
No progress is made
 
Always wanting, never winning-
Enduring all the pain 
Rehearsing hours 
Sacrifices given-
Tears shed 
No progress is made 
 
Struggle never sufficient
Position never solidified
Times never fast enough-
Body aches in aspiration 
No progress is made
 
Success through others, never alone 
Records, brick walls forever standing
Time, consumed and abused, wasted and forever gone
No progress is made
