It is dangerous when I become left with my thoughts Listening to time ticking away in the clock Reminding of the time I have already lost Tormented. I feel tormented To know the sun will rise whether or not I rise with it To know you told me you loved me but never really meant it Drowning in the creation you created me to swim in How much of this pain stems from my decisions Tell me will it get easier this life that we live in Will I someday find the meaning that for so long has been hidden Or does each second live just to tick on the clock Each one inviting an unwelcome thought It is when I’m left alone that a realize I’m not But I know time was not made for clocks but clocks for time And I know God does not live within its confines If only I too could take a step outside No rush and no hurry no fast or slow or need to ever scurry I’d laugh louder not longer because who could tell If time wasn’t there to measure the length of the yell And the whole world would hear what resounds in my brain The laugh releasing thoughts bound for two decades The ones that over time have made me feel insane But without time, perhaps no insane would remain Maybe I’d be alone finally, without the thoughts to invade Maybe it would be nice Only time can say

Laugh Louder
It is dangerous when I become left with my thoughts Listening to time ticking away in the clock Reminding of the time I have already lost Tormented. I feel tormented To know the sun will rise whether or not I rise with it To know you told me you loved me but never really meant it Drowning in the creation you created me to swim in How much of this pain stems from my decisions Tell me will it get easier this life that we live in Will I someday find the meaning that for so long has been hidden Or does each second live just to tick on the clock Each one inviting an unwelcome thought It is when I’m left alone that a realize I’m not But I know time was not made for clocks but clocks for time And I know God does not live within its confines If only I too could take a step outside No rush and no hurry no fast or slow or need to ever scurry I’d laugh louder not longer because who could tell If time wasn’t there to measure the length of the yell And the whole world would hear what resounds in my brain The laugh releasing thoughts bound for two decades The ones that over time have made me feel insane But without time, perhaps no insane would remain Maybe I’d be alone finally, without the thoughts to invade Maybe it would be nice Only time can say
