Time
Time
Everyone believes that time will give them life
But happens when the sand
Begins to run out or is gone?
What is left for you then?
We measure our lives with these things
That has numbers and hands
They tick as each moment goes by
We measure our happiness
And sadness based on this tiny sound
That radiates through the house
They say time can be bent in space
But is it really just our minds
Creating this façade to make us believe
We have the chance to take back our past
Yet, here we are
Waiting to grow up and get wiser
But we doubt the ability for it to be taken away from us
The tap of a pencil at the ending of class
And the tick of a time bomb waiting to explode
They are exactly the same
They both end a moment that can never be returned
So, what is time really?
Is it really what the world revolves around?
Day and night?
Or is it just the end of the something we thought we knew
Think! Think! Think!
Just think of this
A grandfather clock strikes every hour
It is a moment forever lost
Reminding you that the ticks will soon run out
And soon your hour glass will stop running too.
