Time Lost

I stand here in defeat. Looking for a place to hide. Into the darkness I retreat, hoping the pain will subside. It has happened before, though once was enough. Another unwanted detour, on a road, bumpy and rough. How a life can go awry, with only one wrong move. Time is lost, slipping by, while waiting to improve. My life, on hold for now, as I strive to regain. Whatever it will allow, my strength to reclaim. That moment, as I fall, is as if in slow motion. A feeling that I recall, always with emotion. Positive thinking, am looking to find. as I face the lengthy task at hand. Reminding myself of both body and mind, Coming together, to understand.
