time is ticking
December 16, 2019
i feel like time is running out
and i can’t do anything about it
there’s so much i want to do
and there’s so much i need to do
but there’s no time
sometimes i wish we could
live forever so i could see the world
but then i remember there’s
something so much better waiting
for me when i die
when i die.
i think about that sometimes
i don’t think i’m scared
i just...
i don’t know how i feel about it
i guess i’m just not ready to go yet
because i still have so much to do

Hi! My name is Emma Jane Murphey and I'm a ninth grader from Paris, Tennessee. I wrote "time is ticking" one day in the car. The sun was setting and I was very euphoric. I don't know why, but I started to feel sad because I knew that one day this feeling would fade away. I started writing about what I was feeling in the moment. This poem is almost like a battle inside where my heart is pondering death. Also, I'm a Christian so I believe that when I die I'll go to heaven, so my feelings were very mixed about how I know I should feel and what I actually felt inside. The main theme to my poem is to live your life to the fullest because you never know when you will die.
