13th Poem by Lynette Lawrence

Why is it that hard?
Who finds luck
on a 13th at all?
Is life really more than a masked ball?
Tip, tap, tip, tap,
click, clack, click, clack.

You try to run faster
than the time runs out
tik, tok, tik, tok
the clock is always around.
Calenders cross your way,
but a date never stays.

Time
runs out.
Tears
fall down.
The rain clouds sometimes cry for you,
but your all your dreams were buried long ago.
