Every moment, time resets

Busy with assets and regrets

We fail, to renew ourselves

From burdensome old selves

Time is always serious

It’s dismissive and imperious

When we want it most

As life comes to an abrupt close

Time’s forgotten when young

It counts, each time we fill a lung

There’s a clock within us all

It’s hung on the mind’s wall

When we dip into the past

The present does not last

Losing the chance to reset

Time will remain a threat
