Time
P. dee 2001 (Oxnard)
I am everything, I am nothing
Both statements can be true
It depends on where you stand
This perspectives up to you
Some see me as a gift
Others see what they despise
If you have the chance to figure out
You will stand the test of time
Some people wish for more of me
Some dare I say want less
They see me as a punisher
But there’s no crime for I attest
Some seek to understand
Their blame, self inflicted
For I am merely just a tool
In the workshop of Olympus
I confirm this more a curse
For the fates I’ve had to witness
No the curse is not the fates I’ve seen
But the ones they left unfinished
