Time Is Running Out Poem by Shalom Freedman

TIME IS RUNNING OUT

The uncertainty of life
And my forced silence
Question my dreams
And make me seem to myself
A master of self- deception and idleness-

Time is running out
And I am falling behind any hope
Of ever really being anything-

And as I write this
I write another song of complaint
Instead of finding the way surely
To be what apparently
I do not have the ability or talent to be-
The great one who makes my father's name greater
