Time Of Your Life... Poem by Trevor Schulte

Why doesn't the world
seem to spin for me
but continue to be set back
by time's decree
This ongoing feeling
of staleness in life
are causing my feelings
to be closed off with strife
When will the day come
that life will be brought
and I'll start to live out
the lessons I've been taught
When will my opinions
finally be heard
When will my imput
become preferred
This continuous feeling
of infinite vanity
is driving my mind
to the point of insanity
When will my life
mean something much more
and my footprints won't be
secured on a sandy shore
No matter how hard I try
or how much I cry
I'm living a slow life
in which I'll never die
So, I keep coming back
to the same old question of when,
when will my life
finally begin?
But what if these
are the basic steps
in which I get experienced
and become prepped
What if this staircase
isn't winding around
but is pushing onward
to a hope that has been found
Maybe I shouldn't
be watching the clock
but instead be feeding
my increasing flock
Because even though life seems
like it lasts forever
Maybe this is the time
to push for your wanted endeavor
Cherish the time you have
on God's green Earth
you'll never know how long
until your immortal birth
