Poem
Looking back down upon the world from magnificent twilight skies Makes me wonder if more could have come forth from my life What is taken for granted is what impacts most on already burdened souls I’ll beg, I’ll plea, I’ll get down on my knees, to be gifted to return A second chance is often too late to change what has been done Fixing the past is an impossible feat when the present is already in ruin Time feels so infinite when you’re living through it in bliss But the whole world can topple in just a matter of moments Dreams may always stay dreams if you stop moving forward Becoming stagnant is the enemy of progress, the crippler of motivation Compliance cannot be accepted, it must be pushed through by force So that even the constellations above may be attained in time What can be done when it is too late to tell your story? When you can change nothing anymore, but must rely on legacy present How there would be such an urge to scream, to cry out As a ghost, forever tortured to see a past life incomplete When all the memories of yourself have been forgotten Is when death in this world is truly claimed final For so long as you live in the hearts of those who remain You are still alive in the world that never stops turning Death may come at any time, without us having any foresight The scariest thoughts that haunt our minds, brought forth to light That we could be erased without a second chance to be gifted And existence would cease, the timeline a string to be cut Nothing we can fathom is forever, but blips in time The never-ending clock that marches forward with or without So we strive for meaning and legacy to be carried on Before turning into stardust and returning to the void
