I did not think that I would make it

This long, and surely not this far.

The time weighs so heavily on my hands.

My time is forever and always out of joint.

This life was never part of my original plan.

I am forever waiting for the time that is mine.

So softly the music plays a melody,

In my heart there is a symphony.

I am never released, never truly set free

Twisting my heart in such angst, such agony.

I never thought that I would make it this far,

Wondering where I will eventually go, and why.
