Time

Did you forget?
That all you have is a life left.
We manipulate ourselves to start,
The ending seems too far apart.
Don't make it too complicated,
Get started or end it.
Our time is our virtue,
Money, fame, reputation cannot possibly miss you.
Our roads stay the same unchanging,
Only we go on and on complaining.
Our decision is what the universe will see,
But time is what it will truly believe.
So let go of thinking
And start the beginning
Hold hands when you desire
It is your story to tell and admire
Live but don't just live and die
Live with time as it goes on without comply
Why wait and wait till tomorrow?
Your lover isn't there for someone to borrow.
say "I love You" to that lover right now and aloud!
it is your lips and tongue the Almighty has bestowed.
Why wait and wait to take on the hard task?
Who told you to hide behind that silly little mask?
As we wait and wait to complete our forever,
by that TIME, there will be no success to measure.
