Late Again
Late again I am,
Still the sound of the clock in my ears,
“Tic toc, wake up.”
As time goes by,
I wonder how and why?
So compelled to finishing the task,
I forget the most important things,
Friends,
Family,
Sometimes even my life.
To them I am a screw up,
A loose cannon,
To not the light at the end of the tunnel,
Constantly needing to be strapped down.
Late again I am,
Unable to complete a task set before me,
Always letting people down.
Late again I am,
Not trusted with a simple task,
a raging bull,
Seeing only red.
Late again I am,
To speak the words of forgiveness,
To listen to the voice of compassion,
To hear the sound of confusion.
Late again I am,
To destroy my fears,
to control my own destiny,
To look into the eyes of life and say “I am not afraid.”
Late again I am,
To change sides,
Have fairness in life.
To see it and to feel it
To say I am sorry to all I had wronged,
And to have a moment of forgiveness.
Late again I am,
May we see each other again.
To share and understand each other better throughout life.
I love you, Simon.
