Time goes by
Like hands on a clock
Tick...
...tock...
Tick...
...tock...
With each second
A breath is wasted
With each step
Life slowly deteriorates
To a nothing
Because at least once in everyone’s lifetime
We are all empty
Alone
Scared
Afraid of ordinary fate
What’s to come...
Our lives are full of worry
We are never left to be at rest...
It’s so unfair
So cruel...
So harsh...
When death is viewed
As a privilege...
And the gift of life
Is but a waste...*

"In life you must dance like no one is watching, sing like no one is listening and love like it's never going to hurt..."

Those lines above are my favorite, they're really good! I like this poem along with many of your others. ~Jess

Wow, I really like this one.
The last stanza finishes the poem perfectly and I love it!
