Chronophobia

No More Wasting Time! This is apart of my "Phobia" series of poems, feel free to check out the others!

 

New wrinkles around
my eyes

Still waiting for the
things

I never got a chance
to see

 

Hands worn from
manual labor

Instead of building
me

Up to all that I
aspired to be

 

Feet sore with
walking

The same old path

Day after day

Following behind
everyone else

Forgetting to pave my
own way

While the clock still
ticks

Calendar pages flip

My dreams break free

From my long lasting
grip

 

In my mind

I can travel back in
time

Speak to the inner
child in me

But reality can’t be
rewind

So will I ever find

Fulfillment?

…Tick Tock …

 I’ll have to wait and see…
