Time
                           goes on
I wish it would stop,
even if only for a minute;
                            and though I know that,
I would like to take
a momentary pause from life
                            sometimes
I wonder if I have
brought it all upon myself and
                            I wish I could go back
maybe it's just too late
to recover from this,
                            to fix the mistakes
for I want so badly
to be able to turn it all around,
                            avoid all the tears, pain, and heartbreak
and start all over again
knowing what I know now
                            so that I would not be sitting here
so that I would not be
desperately
                            wishing,
longing for that second chance
craving for acceptance and
                                        praying,
yearning for that clean slate
begging,
                                                     crying,
with head humbly bowed and palms raised,
asking people and petitioning God
                                                              hoping,
that hearts will change,
and all the while realizing and resenting
                                                                          regretting...
that I am a wiser person then than I am now
that hindsight is always 20/20
                               how it may be too late;
                               how time waits for no man
                LIFE IS RELENTLESS.
