I’m Turning back the time clock
Sending my life into aftershock
I don’t know if this will really show
Any results that I’d want to know
I’m pulling back the hour hand
Sending my life into a mysterious land
Where nothing’s new but nothing’s same,
Nothing old and nothing lame
Now my life has been reset
So my sorrows I can forget
But all the same I think I’ll miss
The life I had before all this
There was good sprinkled about
Significant good, day in and day out
Brought by friends as few as they were
Be they human, feathered or covered with fur
My mind now wonders if they will be fine
If our lives hadn’t become entwined
Will their lives be as they are?
Or without me will they not make it far?
This worry pricks me like a thorn
Maybe it was because I was born
That joy was brought to others lives
and is why their happiness does thrive?
Does my life really matter that much?
Or was I right believing that such
As insignificant a person as I
Should be obligated to simply die?
What would happen to my family and friends?
Or even beyond them, I have a life to spend!
A life given to me to use and to cherish!
I should not waste it by allowing myself to perish!
I’m going to get back out there and live it for all it’s worth!
Focusing not on it’s sorrows but on it’s mirth!
I’m going to grab life and live every minute
Doing anything and everything I’ve wanted to do in it!
Watch me, I’ll find my happiness here
By keeping my clock in forward gear.

Description:
A simply-rhyme-schemed poem I thought of one night while thinking about the possible ways that time travel could or couldn't be possible.
I found a phrase i found catchy and wrote two stanzas. then months later (tonight) I finished writing it in a moment of need for a creative outlet.
It's kind of a story but it's kind of not. I just went with it based on what worked with the rhymes.
Hope you enjoy it! - Date: 08/23/2010
