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.

when leaves let go
leaves let go
each one a page ripped out of summer's book
each one a memory that hasn't been remembered since 1969
each one a fragment of what was
why care? they say.

WE ARE STILL HERE
we are still here
through hate and violence
through trial and tribulation
through it all
from right to wrong
we've all made decisions
but we are still here
forever.

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
:)
