Prisoner of time.

Trapped in an hourglass
The sands of time,
Spilling upon me
Burying me deep
Slowly, but surely
Suffocating me
I cry out,
Screaming
Pounding the glass
But no can hear me,
No one can see me
I am a prisoner
Held captive by time
Slowly, but surely
Suffocating me
Ticking away
Taking my life,
My very existence
Into utter oblivion

    We can become trapped by time – and no matter how we waste it it will still keep passing us by. One day we will simply not matter – so we should make every single minute count whilst we can.

    Hi Lady Sunshine, we are all a prisoner of time, one way or another, trapped in an hourglass, this is why, we must use our time wisely, you described the hourglass to perfection, well done!!
