An arrow can be shot only by pulling it backward. So when life is dragging you back with difficulties, it means that it’s going to launch you into something great. So just take a deep breath and keep aiming.

strange how every tick of the clock,
you become a different person
you are no longer the same as you were
one second ago
every grain of sand
coarse or smooth
drops and brings
something
a new you
for the better or worse
time brings change

Great poem! It's so true especially when you look at friends who you've known since kindergarten and see how they've changed! Check out my stuff sometime!

I like the whole concept of time and I like how short and simple it is in sentence structure. Just like time, in a sense.
