Poem: Time If Only We Could Sit Back and Observe

by LoveForLove

This is a poem about how the time passes. Sometimes, I wish we could all just watch and learn from others mistakes, but they best way to learn is by making mistakes.

Time: If only we could sit back and observe

Time is going faster than I anticipated,

Everyone seems to agree,

Although they say it's me growing up to fast,

Just because I know,

Just because I know of passion and heart ache,

They don't believe it.

It's far too late- way too late- for me to turn back time,

So stop trying to make me.

Even if time was an element we could control,

Would we really change our pasts?

I have lost many things and people dear to me,

But going back and saving them would alter my future,

Going back in time to fix our mistakes,

We wouldn't learn or even be the people we are.

I believe that what doesn't kill us makes us stronger.

So stop wishing and dreaming that time will turn itself back because,

Even I who has lost so much,

Wouldn't go back to lose what I have gained,

A learning experience to say the least,

Is exactly what my life has been.
