Watch

I used to live in a watch 
I followed the movements of the screws and cogs 
It isn’t till recently I broke out of that box 
Now I live life untimed 
Free from the rudementary 

But without that who are we 
Without purpose, movement or symmetry 
Without the hand the face is lost 

Now I’m a watch without batteries forever stoped 

If only I were a sun clock, then my dependability would never stop 

But a las I am not 
I am not
But a faceless clock to a lost watch 
Forever stoped
