"Be the change that you want to see in the world" - Mahatma Gandhi


Time is the mocker.

He sits on the street corner, 

waiting for me to pass by.

Examining me carefully,

he decideds to make me cry. 

The tears start to fall faster,

my face swelling with sadness.

The gears in my head keep turning,

smoke starts the fire.

There's no escaping yourself,

with the constant reminder of his stealth.

There is no sanctuary,

no matter how high you go,

heat rises.

The flames will lick your skin until there's nothing but ash.

The time of death?

He makes his mark.
