It was all but myself two years ago-
There was nothing holding me from my thoughts,
Mistakes
Fears
Only the wet, scratching sand keeping me at the seashore,
Of all the time I wanted to come to terms with my releasing thoughts of
Growth
Life
And Change
I started to see time in a different light.
One I didn't want to see.
No one told me I would lose everything
My home
My school
My life
Leaving the place that started to love me,
but I never could.
But with every month, every day
the time started to taunt me
Tick , Tock, Tick, Tock
Every hour, every min, every second
Tick, Tock, Tick, Tock
I knew the waves would come,
I would lose everything,
I stayed in a place that tried to love me, but I never could
I wanted to stay, believe
The time reminded me of when I will walk across the line,
Graduation
I wasn't ready, I use to think I will be but not anymore
Fear of decisions,
Fear of life,
Fear of change,
Time
That's all I had
and as the waves started to drown around me
Capturing me
Sinking me
I came to my senses
10 weeks and whatever days
I would graduate
Life has decided for me
And as the waves wash over me
The steps I take on
The steps that glue me into the ocean floor,
I’ll make my way across the ocean
And I won't stop
Time will only slow down
Tick,
Tock,
Tick,
Tock
Walking across the sea plain
With nothing but dark blue cold water, swallowing my body
With nothing but a paper diploma and time in my head
Does time restart,
Or will I always be drowning in waves of time.
