"Watching Time Fall"

Trapped in these walls watching time fall.
I can not step back but only move forward.
I sit and think I always have tomorrow,
But seem to forget the time is only borrowed,
have drowned myself in my own sorrows
have walked steps can't begin to count the miles
have grown like the connection of tiles.
Living without regret willing to forgive
so I can take the load off of my heart, mind, soul
Taking up to much space and time
You have not noticed you solicit the crime
one tear drop for every minute that I let you push me back in time
I am resilient
have walked with the weight on my back
Lifted it to my shoulders and I finally hold it above my head
I pass this strength of my arms to my daughter
she will never watch time fall
Learn from me while I still am allowed to be
I am not a star but have learned over time to warm my heart
Money, clothes, and cars never make you who you are
Patient, discipline, faith, family, friends and morals Is what comes deep down from the core
Counter clockwise as I now watch time rise "So Much Potential" a work in progress.
