Taking Back Time
3/3/09
Today passes like a ticking bomb,
one that will certainly explode.
Yet I find myself strangely calm
while trying to crack a foreign code.
…
Disarm attempts were a mistake;
tension mounting as I tried
and wasted time, now mine to take
as I interpret the danger inside.
…
It spins a web inside my mind,
a trap that I can clearly see
and focus on until I find
a new fate among the debris.
…
My time, no longer a real threat
crawls forward, not revealing how
in time I surely will forget
the volatility here and now.
