Time is a concept that exists only to us

We need it to keep track of ourselves

Without it, we lose who we are

The time it takes for the light to travel

From the star that illuminates my darkest night

To my eyes that see only the surface at times

And at other times, the deepest depths of the most Atlantian soul

Is only a couple minutes

That star would go out at some point,

And I could be looking up at it one night

And not even know

Sometimes, I can’t find the time to breathe,

The breath gets caught in my throat,

Like a constant tug of war between my soul and society.

They say that time heals all wounds,

But these scars on my heart can’t seem to fade completely.

The time taken to make a conscious decision may seem like a lifetime,

The time taken to make a subconscious decision than a millisecond

Both of them can influence your life in the same degree

To do anything in this life, we have related everything back to time

To form opinion or conceive thought

We complain about how long everything takes to happen

But we never appreciate the moment that we’re experiencing

In the beautiful moments, I want to stop time so I can fully take in what is happening

Something to never happen again

Embracing life and giving meaning to a dying conviction

To a virtue of substantial acceptance.
