Killing Time

'Time is underestimated
As it passes, pain is abated'
Repeat it to myself
It's not much help.

If I could only kill time
I wouldn't have bear it -
Or hear that damn bell chime
Every damned hour - wailing.

This is not the life I envisioned
This is not what I chose
But alas, this is all I've been commissioned
No point in being morose.

In all honesty - time is overestimated.
It wouldn't know left from right
If I didn't put the battery in it -
I choose to follow the time
I choose to hear the chime
Wailing as it may be -
It's the only choice I've got
To see how long before I'm free
To do whatever the hell I want.

(I have a lot of bottled up anger right now. Writing is the only thing keeping me sane.)
