43 minutes
And submission must take place.
42 minutes
41
Now 40
Counting down until midnight
Until the next day
Next week
Next month
Next year
What are you counting for
For a due date
A better tomorrow?
A time of less stress
Or freedom
Relaxation.
Count more quickly
And time will tick more slowly.
Wish for more time
And time will tick more quickly.
39 minutes.
There was once a time
Where boredom was felt
Dullness, monotony
What would I give
To feel it again.
What would I give
To relive time
A time where we were free
A time where we could do anything
Yet chose to do nothing
Yet lounged and lazed.
37 minutes.
In childhood we had forever.
33 minutes.
Could I have done more
Would I have done more
Had I known.
26 minutes.
So much to do
So little time
I want to go back
To a littler time.
17 minutes.
With less that needed to be done
No responsibility
No expectations.
11 minutes.
Will tomorrow
Be any better
Or the week after
Or the month
The year?
4 minutes.
Push past
1 more.
3 minutes.
But past this hill
Is another.
A cycle.
2 minutes.
I'm caught.
I need help
We're all caught.
1 minute.
The end
Peace
Relaxation
Where is it?
Why
Can't I find it?
30 seconds.
Is it
Even out there?
20 seconds.
10.
And now I must submit
Must turn in
9 seconds.
The worst poem
8 seconds.
That I have probably written in my entire life.
7 seconds.
And I've written some pretty sh*t poems.
6 seconds.
Honestly, though.
5 seconds.
I need to learn
4 seconds.
How to better manage
3 seconds.
My Odyssey
2 seconds.
Deadlines.
1 second
0.
