Am I Fading Away

Time is always speeding,
It does twist and twirl
Almost every
Single moment

I came here to play,
Not my time to while away
I had to so as to avoid
From going astray

But in the bargain
I’ve learned many a lesson
Not to become
An emotional prey
For those who dare,
Do say
Leave a word of praise.

Time has thickened my skin
I don’t really always want to win
Who reads me or not,
Doesn’t now my stomach knot

On another site
I have launched myself
Though many
Don’t like to comment,
For anyone,
As that’s a gift god given,
In the forty days
10,000 reads have come my way,
I smile at myself
Am I really fading away?

For time is a gift divine
Some love, some pray,
But all time is not the same
For every one
This I dare to say.
