Beat The Clock

Submitted by Depressed 1 on Sun, 2023-02-12 05:02

I am getting tired trying to beat the clock

I know soon that it is going to stop

As I get older, it feels like it is going fast

I know that my time it will not last

I look back, and I do not like what I see

All of the things that have made up me

The tragedies, flaws, and falls in my past

Scars are here now and will always last

The trinities of past, future, and now

They concave my reflections somehow

Time is a murderer; it is killing me

It is turning my mind agnostically

Trip over the minutes as the seconds fall

I know it is time for me to go; that is all

Thanks Kat. Fortunately, I have found several outlets for my depression.
