    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 not a turning loose of emotion, but an escape from emotion.

    T. S. Eliot (1888-1965) American-English poet and playwright.
