So It Seems

Things aren't always as they seem

So it seems

It seems to me that time goes slowly
Breath slowly escapes my lungs in agonizing pain
The world waits for my one deciding move
I wait… I wait…
A dream never fought for fades
Blowing in the wind of merciless time
Missed opportunities. Unspoken desires
Silent yearning for what will never be
It seems to me that time goes slowly
Unspoken resentment
The fault was theirs
Unspoken hatred
Misunderstanding
Silent as death, burning with heat
A plot to hurt- to maim
It will come crashing down
So it seems
A firm nudge in the right direction
An open mind
A listening ear
A gentle word
All is well
So it seems
