I like the pace of time. I think that life tends to move on on just the right cadence, and if I had a Time Machine I would use it to lock time at its current pace. Please don’t make it slower — I would die waiting for things that already feel like they take awhile, and please don’t speed things up — I would never have time for other people, and its hard enough keeping up with everything. I know I can’t know everything — its just not possible. I know that if I did know it all then I would die of trauma. I am confused now — I’m just hanging on at the brink of understanding myself.
Time Machine

A lock without a key
Cold, bitten, waiting at the door
Rain like the universe’s tears streaming down his cheeks
He knows rejection—it's known him from the start
You see, forgiveness is his revenge on himself
Mountains like monuments waiting
-
bricks
And so he sat there
Engulfed in the presence of time
And realized that his path was carved out for him
Awaiting footsteps
Begging for mistakes
If only he were to begin his journey

Analogy of a Second
I pepper myself with questions
Questions that bubble up and spill over
Out into the wide world
And I stop to admire time
I pause in my tracks
Tracks that have gone a long way
And within this pause

Love this one! It's really nice to hear from the opposite point of view of one of my poems (Time Slip). There's a lot of good points in here and it's really reassuring :)
(P.S, love the trauma bit, it made me laugh. Ur so right)
Thank you so much! I enjoyed your poem time slip as well
:)
