Borrowed time

Writer's picture: Lala RukhLala Rukh

borrowed time is all we have

countless words still left to say

I will finish before I go

I will finish, come what may


we were never allowed to truly live

never did we strive to succeed

never was I truly happy

never did their advice I heed


so I don't know why I cry today

when it truly is my fault

depression, anxiety fucked me over

but, you know, take it with a pinch of salt


long last I made it to the top

where everyone wanted me to be

lonely it is, empty and desolate

mother, I'm here, are you proud of me?


they ask why I write what I write

it is because I have no other clue

no clue where life's taking me

no clue what I'm supposed to do


so I write and write and write

all my words I pour

I write and write and write

until I cant write anymore


(The writer would like to remain anonymous)
