Time

The days last forever It seems When your world is empty By choice Months and years gone by Too fast A minute lasts a lifetime Sitting alone Years feel like minutes When happy Restless nights from living life Or loneliness Challenges for all Until death Insanity pleas become often Risking everything To be sane with regrets would Haunt me Give all that is possible Expect nothing Accept offerings frequently Thoughts count You are everything To someone Everyone else sees nothing Of interest Dream impossible dreams Every night For if you awaken tomorrow It's eternity Share your qualities with others While living Remembrance of your years Never forgotten A diary published Without consent Areas of nothing Throughout pages Left for those with No voice I simply forgot to count the Painful hours

This one is bittersweet. If we live and play the hand we are given, enjoying each and every moment, expecting little and grateful for each blessing our lives will be fulfilling. Wonderful write. Vince

Deeply sad, and I can relate. Life is so full of disappointments. Many of us learn to expect nothing, this way we will not be disappointed. Not so easy, not so fair when you give your all. Such raw honesty and emotion. I am caught up in your words. Love, Shar
