The Rhyme of Time

The sun is glowing I'm still growing My smile is showing The people think they're all-knowing Writing this song I do belong Knowing right from wrong I am strong All along, I belong I long for your song Mentally playing ping-pong Moving along all along Hoarsing around Head towards the ground Making no sound Feeling home-bound Feeling lost and never found Smoke in the air No sign of despair Turn it down just a hair People watch and stare But, I don't mean to scare Playing truth or dare Repairing my tear...preparing my flare Banging this gong...of wanting to belong Writing this song...not knowing right from wrong I have no urge to weep I have no time to sleep The wounds you gave me are oh so deep Sow what you reap... You sneeze violently You talk constantly You walk fast it seems You live with broken dreams I dream in colorful ray It's a sun-shining day It's time to melt away the dismay You've been led astray by disarray I've traveled from afar You're a discovered shooting star I see you shine so far Healing my past scar I wonder where you are I keep you in a memory jar You zoom by in my mind like a mental car The rhyme of time Is oh so sublime The ryhme of time Is as priceless as a new dime This time, this precious time I tried to hang on...till the break of dawn Where have you gone? I welcome the shining sun You tatoo regret against my chest I've been trying my best to pass life's test Something's missing and I've been driven insane Someone's missing and I'm not to blame...for, it leaves a guilty stain below the drain My broken heart of art Is about to tear apart Imagine the possibilities of you and I Boy, how time flies...please don't cry!

Really enjoyed this JW! You handled monorhyme rather well! It has a singsong quality, and feels cathartic!
