Time Poem by Brian Jefferson

With all this time on my hands
I still feel like I'm sinking deeper into the sands of life
With my goals seeming out of sight
I'm in search of that light
Feeling like im in a fight
I retaliate with a great deal of restraint
Understand this fight isn't fair
Because my opponent is like a bear
Who has the ability to claw and tear
Through the depths of my soul
Leaving my heart on the ground
But it sits there not making a sound
And with no one around
I'm the only one that hears a pound
