Determination


As I stretch my hand
My blades hurt 
I scamper to a rescue 
but my veins thrust

I pull whats all within
and let out one last cry
with sweat in my eyes
and blood in breath
I yearn to instigate everything
that has not turned death

The silence tickles
as if insane
The time trickles 
as if it would never wane

But there I see the hourglass
Losing all the sand
There I see my life 
losing all that could be grand
I had promised myself 
that I would hold that time
I had promised myself 
that I would fight this time

So,one last time
I stretch my hand

My blades hurt 
And ah,
I hold the time.

    @Mrs.Trellis
    Might sound funny.But the moment I wrote it,I knew this line would be the center of this poem.

    @Rene
    Thanks Rene.Yes,poems have become a way of life.Atleast to keep sanding:)

    @Brian Miller
    Thanks Brian.Prompts having a center are so good only cause we are able to see the wide thought variations.
