The clock is broken

The clock is broken

I believe
            It was just
                           An illusion
A falsehood
                Not real
                           Just blood coursing through
                                                                 My veins
Tripping down
                   An endless staircase
                                               Tears on this rough skin
I am
      Who I am
                   None can change that
                                                  This is just
                                                                 Growing up
Mentors of old
                    Have helped me through
                                                     Given me guidance
                                                                              Shown me truth
I'll make it
              Hopefully
                           Though I feel
                                              The time was wasted

i love love the way you used the words to create a downfall effect... it helped along the rythm of the poem and it was overall awsome!

Poetry is what is lost in translation.

Robert Frost (1875-1963) American Poet.
