Time, You're a Thief
Dear Time,
Please let me live with no fear of my life
Dear Time,
Please leave me be with a penny of Peace
Dear Time,
You are a thief
A bastard’s son
That claims things that are not rightfully yours
Time, you instill in me a seed of Fear
That grows into a wretched oak, bearing poisoned fruit
That keeps me motionless in my tracks
That forces me to stare back
And scares me far too much to allow me to move forward
Dear Time,
You steal from me the Courage to live
You are a thief
That fills me with dread
And as you take my Bravery away
Not allowing for me to live in my own day
You sneak into my home
And steal something more
Because my could-be-accomplishments
And my would-be-hopes are not enough for you
So, you must steal more from me
Time, you must steal my time
You take it from under my feet
That is your greatest trick of all
As I fret and I worry
As I cry in my frenzied hurry
You make me old and poor
Because I waste all of MY TIME
Worrying about MY TIME
That, by the time I’m ready to live
By the time I’ve finally gotten past my Fears
I have no time left
Because, Time, you are a thief
You are a deceitful liar
But it is I who is the greatest thief
Because I stole from myself
My ability to live
