Time

There are moments in our lives when we face a "do or a die situation" even before we know it. We feel. We try to forget. We fret.  We become so consumed in trying to forget about pain instead of facing it. We spend years drowning in sorrow, guilt, despair, and regret. 

Then that moment happens. 

Liquid courage takes effect and a flood of surreal energy overcomes you-- then you realize that what you have been running away from has always been there just waiting for you to approach it. It has been waiting patiently for you to just say your piece so that it knows that you acknowledge it's presence. 

In a feverish flurry, everything is right again. 

Then the world falls quiet when you realize that it's too late to make it work. 

Choices have been made.

Time's up.
