Needing Time



What am I

Or should I say

What have I become

For once I meant something

But where that once came from

Is numb

Without feeling

You say you need time

But is time

Healing

Only yielding

What in the future

The past begun

Withholding the answer

Because “Needing Time”

Is to run

What in today

You rather not face

Rather not be bothered with

Rather wait

Is a mistake

At best if none

For what you

Do not face

Will only prolong

The outcome

Yet you still run

Needing

“Your” time and space

Needing to gather

Your thoughts

Needing to get your life in place

While the other waits

Wondering

What they have done

But that time only succeeded

In making them feel

What you already are
