Make Up Your Mind
By JustAnEarlyBird
A broken mind;
Distorted reflections
In a shattered mirror-
And I-- lost in the shards
Between him,
And
My
Life
24; a place of dread
A ticking time bomb
Of empty promises
And unachieved goals
So young;
Yet growing so old
Another year wasted
"Only 'til 25"
Impatiently patient
A paradox of Time
Of "Then" and "Not now"
"Enough!" she cries
I'm losing footing
The world has shifted
Caught between a rock,
And a "promise" devine
How long should I remain
patient
When my patience
Is all but dry?
25. A well in a scorching desert;
A mirage.
Love is not enough.
Distorted reflections---
She can't be me!
Struck
Between a lie
And her life--
Why can't you
Just make up
Your
Mind?
