Mindful
The good with the bad,
The bad with the worst.
Some things in life are sad,
Will nothing quench my thirst?
I thirst for knowledge, is it such a crime?
Longing to have all the wisdom I can take.
But alas, there is too little time.
For time is like a river, me living in its wake.
Not able to be controlled by my mind,
It runs freely, winding, twisting.
Until it turns into life, a beast of a different kind.
Turning, twisting, slithering, and hissing.
Like life, you under estimate its potential;
You don’t pay attention; you let it pass you by.
But as it draws closer, you realize in full,
How important it is; too late, the snake has taken a bite,
Out of your mind, no longer can you fight.
feel free to let me know what you think of my poems, just no flaming.

You can run....but you'll just die tired.
