The Essence of Time



Tick tock tick tock
Time keeps ticking waiting for no one
Like a train on a schedule
Answerable to no one unapologetic for leaving without me

Tick tock tick tock
Makes me question
Keeps me on my toes
Not letting a single moment slip without being accountable

Tick tock tick tock
What have I achieved in the past minute
Even when nothings done, it counts
Never to be relived, never going down that road again

Tick tock tick tock
Scary thought, especially when priorities are undetermined
Tick tock tick tock
Wait, what just happened?

Ten years gone
Left daydreaming for too long
Over indulged in unrealities
Letting substance pass away

Ten years ahead
Ten years left to live
To regret or embrace
Choose to take charge

Make the difference
Use the time afforded me
Beat time at its tricks
Make the best of every minute

Tick tock tick tock
I have done it again
Every hit made a home run
What’s next on the list?

Achieving every dream
Conquering all life throws at me
Tick tock tick tock
Guess what?
I caught the train this time.

Just penned down some thoughts to encourage myself and everyone who reads this that no matter how fast life goes by, the mistakes made, even battles won, there’s always time ahead to change the story when hope seems lost, press on when you feel discouraged, and be inspired from what is left behind; even more, by what’s ahead. When the time comes to run, run like hell, if you have to slow down wait and build patience but in the heat of all never forget what’s most important:





Life. Purpose. Passion. Hope. Love. Inspiration. People. God





P.S: always remember the essence of time is to inspire hope.
