I’m sixteen years old.
I’m scared to be alone.
I’m scared to be forgotten.
I’m scared to be gone.
I’m scared.

Time is not scared
Time is unforgiving
Time feels no guilt
No remorse.
She is relentless

I’m a slave to time.
I posses no power
No will
Subservient to her truths.
Time will continue
My kicks and screams forever worthless
In the epic battle against time

I stay bound to my fate
With ties soaked in irony
Just lose enough for false illusions of control
Of meaning
Strong enough to keep those illusions impossible.

Time is the carrier of fate.
Never stopping
An endless river flowing to destiny
Trapping all riders

Helpless
Scared
Unknowing
Time oblivious to my fears.
Where will she carry me?

I am a prisoner
Time is the shackles on my wrists.
The weights on my ankles.
Scaring me from being alive
But still whisking me to my death.
She haunts my soul.
I yearn to be free.
