Time Will Tell
Time
Will show the pain hidden in my heart.
Time
will be my friend even when we part.
Time
will stand by me til’ the end of my fight.
Time
will show me what is wrong from what I think is right.
Only time
will tell the secrets that I bravely hold.
The tragedies I’ve faced.
The stories that live untold.
Time
will forever be with me as the years pass swiftly by
and
when the days are rough
time
will swiftly fly.
Time
knows how I feel
and
how long the hurt will stay, but
time
will be my friend
time
won’t go away, because only
time
will tell…
*This is an original poem I wrote when I was 16 years old.
