Father Time
(Poem by Serenus)
Father, Oh Father
When will it stop?
You standing beside me
Tapping your watch
The key to life is lost
Leaving my mind locked
My time is almost up
So I’m avoiding the clock
Precious little time
So many things to do
Failure after failure
I wish I could start anew
Counting what I’ve accomplished
Productively throughout the years
Calendar pages empty
Filled with all my fears
Scared of leaving my comfort-zone
…And trying something new
I’m not going to last
-Stuck in the past
And all that I’ve been through
Excuse after excuse
That’s what time really hates
Those hesitant to life
And are prone to procrastinate
Father, Oh Father
You got me on the run
Restlessness is your brother
And Impatience is your son
Who am I… really?
That’s who I need to find
So all I’m asking for
Is just a little time
A few extra moments
And I promise- I’ll be done
But begging is useless
Because Time waits for no one…
