Start writing your story

Run from the ticking of a clock

From the past

Towards the future

Away from innocence

Towards responsibility

inked into my skin

Carved into my heart

Give me purpose

Then crush me

And lift me up all the same

I hold them close

Feeling less empty

Fly me to the moon

I'll play amongst the stars

Bring me back to earth

I'll play in the rain

Let the sun warm me up

I'll Sing amongst birds

Turning another page

In my mind

In my life

Erase what's infected

Older by another minute

Only a little more wise

Time racing by

Let it slide over me

Let the ticking of a clock

Lull me to sleep

Time is not my enemy

But a companion I embrace
