There Isn't Time Poem by Mark Fahmy

I hope you realise before it's already too late..
that there isn't time.

There isn't time for you to feel worthless,
There isn't time for you to feel sorry for yourself,

There isn't time to sink into the waters of the past,
There isn't time to recount the failures of yesterday,
There isn't time to dwell on relationships that didn't last,
There isn't time to repress the words you always wanted to say..

There isn't time for you to comment on the unfairness of this world,
There isn't time to stay in your own victim story, curled.

Life does not wait,
And neither should you..
Today you draw your own fate,
And, dear o dear, you will make it through..
