This was supposed to be a "I Am" poem but this came out.

NO TIME

I don’t cry
I have no time for that
I must keep on running
faster and faster
I have no time
to cry

I don’t ask
why?
and
where to?

there is pain
but I have no time for it
I must keep on running
I must do
what I’m told to do
I have no time
for pain

and most of all
I have no time
to die
so I must keep on living
forever!

I for one am glad that this one came out.  It was superbly done and sometimes it is when we least expect it that one of this caliber just bursts through.  Wonderful read.

You are right, we can't dwell on the negative or the pain, or we might go insane. Better to say, no time, and go forward.
Thanks for this one. I needed it!
