My Biggest Fear

The other day in art class we had to journal about our biggest fear. No monsters came to mind, nor spiders or snakes or any of the usual things that scare people. To me, my biggest fear is time. I'm always worried that I'm going to run out of time and I will not be able to finish what I was meant to do on Earth. This reminded me of the poem I wrote last year and I just thought I would share it:

Time is a fear
That wraps around you
And rips away timeless memories
It hurts you and haunts you
And makes you never want to look back

Time is age and length
It beats like a strong drum
Creeping up behind you
Like a murderer in the dark of night.

Time runs out
And soon you realize
What you have
And what you don’t.

Time is like poison
It turns love cold
It will hurt and tear apart lives
Time will be the death of love.

Time does not care
It changes thoughts and opinions
Along with passionate feelings
Time makes even best friends grow apart

Time is the Devil’s work,
Slowly slipping people away from life
If He had His way, time would not exist
Life would live on forever

Time creates loss
Feelings are hurt and emotions run wild
Life becomes empty
Like an endless pit of sorrow

Time is disgusting
It should disappear like the switch of a light
It is evil and wretched
Time is my biggest fear
