Lose your illusions

I spent 18 years

on the hook of time,

trapped tight between

past and future

the ticking hand

beating against the walls

of my prison.


Been working on

losing my illusions

anything other than now

is just a memory

or a fantasy,

pain and anxiety

time, time, time,

is a spell

that captured me,

but no more,

I break free,

it’s easy,

it’s just imaginary.
