I will not yield
to the unbending will of time,
though I know it is a battle
I cannot win
I will do all I can
to ensure what time remains
is as productive as possible -
limiting idleness and waste -
I will treat each minute as a gift
to be treasured,
not bending beneath the weight
of its passing
I will not sacrifice a second,
I will fill my time with life

At Work
what stands before you,
the weight upon you,
it is not personal,
the world is not conspiring
against you,
you have not been chosen;
we are but specks
of the finest dust,
we are just part of the machine;
the obstacles we face
are the circumstances
of living a life,
I can still take the air
there is breath in my lungs,
I am nothing
I have choices
I am free
