Time to Think
Time to Think
I wish I had thinking time
Tantalizing thoughts circling through my mind
Bubbles I must burst, nothing but a curse
Thinking the thoughts I really want to come true,
Thinking only of you
Angsty anxiety about my assignments
Why did I choose to procrastinate
Now I have no patient time
Powdered pondering
Sweet like the powdered sugar
Coating the Japanese soufflé pancakes
Touches the tongue and passes away
There's simply no time
Strawberry scents and stuffy noses
Can’t smell it
Can’t self reflect
Time is never permitting
Tempered time smooth and quick melting on your tongue
Like tempered chocolate
The middle of the week
Semisweet
Salty fries in my ice cream
Swaying to sleep
But there's no time
Goodbye for now
This meal lasts less than a minute
Powdered pondering turns more into passive productivity
Time being wasted endlessly
My emotions could never be handled so effortlessly.

This piece is about how I end up wasting more of my time by not allowing myself the time to feel. I get so caught up in school and assignments I forget the equal importance of thinking and reflecting.
