I can’t enter a contest; I’m being honest.
Okay, I’m not allowed.
When you want to run,
you first smile as applause;
you always adore my beauty.
When you are inside a dream, you can’t scream
without honestly thinking of my treasury.

I Am Time.

I see you,
running after me
so that you don’t get fired at work,
or even punished at school.
You sometimes figure out
how to make me smile.
Just know that your efforts
will yield more than gold
one day, which is a portion of myself that my Creator will give you.

I Am Time.

I am your age.
You always try to figure out
why I am always here and there.
I am an eternal vessel of the Omnipotent;
I don’t get passed by.
I pass by everything
and everyone.
Remember what the only Everlasting said:
“Humble yourself.”

I Am Time.

You keep so many houses for me.
Do you think that makes me safe?
You also keep me on your wrists,
even inside your technological gadgets.
On your walls, do you think I can make them not to fall?

I Am Time.

I don’t feel pain.
Stop patting me like a pet.
I feel nothing.
I just laugh.
That’s my only way to express surprise,
even wonder or disgust.

I Am Time.

I have hotter wheels,
as much as you don’t know.
I have vigour that you can describe as the unknown.
Yes, I am impressed if you try to catch up with me.

I Am Time.

Don’t waste me on needless things.
I see you wondering, and I laugh.
I hear, smell, and think faster.
Just know one thing for now:
I am not bragging.
I won’t.
I am letting you know me,
Yes, don’t be proud.
What does that fellow award you with, more than myself?

I Am Time.

You wake in the middle of the night,
which is a small portion of me.
You look at me.
You wonder when I will reach where you desire me to be,
so that you may run after me
again and again, even so.
I am already there.
That’s how it is.
I have zones of focus.
I am present everywhere and anywhere,
any me.

I Am Time.

I have seen and tasted everything:
death, life, laughter, even saddened beings like you.
I always get resurrected by my Father, even before you know it.
I am always on a spree.
Rest a bit,
I am going nowhere.
I did not say be lazy.
I am always here, there, and there.
I am the past, present, and the future.
I don’t stop until my Creator says so.

I Am Time.

I laugh
when I secretly feel you
lying to yourself
about the things you thought you had.
As you waste me procrastinating,
you are just destroying your future me.
Chances aren’t for granted, yes.
Don’t make rush decisions.
Talk yourself from the inside.
Tell me when you are ready.

I Am Time.

Rendez-vous doesn’t exist without me,
even yourself, you can’t breathe
without my presence.
One thing, which ain’t amongst many needless qualities
that I keep reminding you about,
is that humbleness unlocks blocked paths.
Always admit that you are wrong.
I am limited to you.
You are a mortal.
Behave yourself
before the charge you have of me depletes.
