Hands of Time

I lost my head,
It's gone now,
There's no way to get it back
Inside one's mind
I am blind,
Hopeless,pitiful
A trail of black,
There's no sunshine or 
rainbows
In my state,
In my state,
Of wrong turns and hurtful 
burns
Angst,among these
Despaired hates,
Darkness is too easy a way to 
put it,
So I run within my mind
To try to find 
What never seems to have 
existed at all
My half empty glass of 
impossible,
Carelessness,wishful thinking
Help is needed though never 
wanted
Not allowed in my state of 
mind,
A monster I've become
Not to others but to myself,
So now,I look back
At the good times that once 
were mine
And sit and think,
If only I could turn back these 
hands of time

I enjoyed this well crafted poem. It affirms my opinion that it is not the time that troubles us so much as how we spend that time. I wrote one about time... "Time Goes Marching On." You'll find it on my page.... I think you will like it. ...Jake
