Hourglass

One of my earlier poems. I was in a rebellious mood

I screamed across the world

Yet no one heard my voice

All I want to do is give everyone their own choice

But every time my voice comes near 

Once again it disappears

They don't even take a second to think 

For they are slaves to overly idealistic dreams

That aren't even there own

You have to do this and that

No, your not aloud to go down your own path

but why

All I want is a chance to try

But society beats you down

You're forbidden to have sound

A voice

a choice

Because it doesn't fit into their perfect picture

It doesn't fit with their perfect scripture

I want to climb the tallest mountains

To sail the ocean blue

To see  a world that has a clue

...But boo hoo

It's not going to happen

Unless we make it

Unless we take it

Out of their hands

And into our own

Because until that time comes

The sand

Will keep on falling

In the hourglass we call life

And we are running out of time...
