Time

there are...

times when everything goes right
when you can laugh and cherish the moment
when you can be happy and carefree
enjoy yourself and friends

times when things get a little unclear
like driving in a fog where you can't see far enough ahead
and from time to time you catch a glimpse of the side of the road
and it eventually clears up

times when things get a little bad
things that take control of you temporarily but you regain control
like slipping on a banana peel but catching your balance just before you fall
and again walking straight ahead

times when things get a lot worse
where no matter which way you turn there's a wall there
one that you have to try to climb to escape your confines
a hard struggle, but you get over it

times when everything goes wrong
where you have no control, can only hope for the best
where you become a shell of what you should be
and all you have is hope that you can survive

times when you feel all alone
isolated from the world around you
where nothing seems to matter anymore
where time stands still and you count your own heartbeat
like slipping into the darkness of a horror film knowing the monster is near
hearing the heavy breathing from all directions and not knowing where to run

isn't time just wonderful?
