Time Ticking Away

My life is like an hourglass,
patience is practical for the passing time.
I will not live forever,
though every second ticks the clock faster.
Horrified people leap from cliffs,
life’s end nears the clear.
This lifeless disease destroys us all.
Watching, whispering, waiting;
life no longer lasts as long.
My sand seems to have run dry
and everything else stops.

This poem is about the self destruction of people. It shows that life may seem slow at first but within the blink of an eye it can end.
