Upon the mirror i looked

Into never-ending nothingness

From this, what i took

Was everlasting hapiness

Because nothingness is what i love most

Aside from ubiquitous tranquility

And i rejoice that my body is the host

Of an abundance of negativity

Rejoice, for this is a normal quality

And normality is what i strive for

Escaping neutrality rapidly

But i cannot run anymore

Shattering.

Metaphoric knives slice away at my retinas

Time elusive as hollow fingers point towards me

Screams evaporate frigidly from my half-empty glass

Shrouding my consciousness strenuously

Repeating

I’ve lived through this before

Retreating

But now I have unlocked the door

Grinded

Into a pile of gravel

Blinded

Just as the secrets unravel

Looking back profoundly

One comes to realize

Time escapes us rapidly

Like a speeding train, in which we mobilize

Derailed and headed for destruction

At the collision point, life’s expiry 

We have but mere seconds to live

Live them advantageously

Taking chances, making choices

Which in time lead to a better outcome

Taking control of the time you have left

Being negatively influenced by no one

Time is a fascinating thing

So many loathe and love it equally

Behind us, everything we thought was new

Now seemingly an antiquity 

Set your mind free

Learn to create rather than to imitate

For later down the path of life,

You’ll regret the chances missed once it becomes too late
