Time
Inspired by Petpyves and the animated series "Twelve"
. . .
Time and fate go hand and hand,
If something happens at the wrong time it can alter everything.
Time can drive you mad with regret and sadness
And sometimes, there just isn't enough
Some things you can't do alone.
The words can boil up inside,
You need to put your foot down and speak up,
But sometimes you can only get that courage with a little help.
Everyone has a comfort zone and everyone has dreams.
Some people never reach their goals because they don't want to leave the comfort of home.
But in the end is better to get out and try then to never leave at all.
As we grow, we change.
The difference between you and your younger self can be minor or major.
Things happen, days pass, friends leave.
Sometimes you just have to come to terms with it,
But sometimes, if your friends truly care, they will come back.
Be proud of who you are, don't be held back.
People will come and go throughout your life,
Sometimes love doesn't go the way you want it,
And things may fall apart,
But you should stay strong, if not for yourself, then for the people you care for.
Sometimes your problem is your family.
It can be hard to adjust to something new,
And they might not always understand.
Whether it's love or not, nothing will stop it as long as you care enough to keep persisting.
You can't always win, however.
Sometimes you will slip and fail.
Life is about learning from mistakes and improving.
But there will be some unwinnable situations.
Sometimes things just happen.
No one sees it coming,
Or they do, but can't do anything.
The important thing is to keep pressing on.
Press on no matter how hard,
Do it for those who've been lost.
They'll be sure to try and help ease your struggles from their spot in the afterlife.
Love is something that no one can control.
The heart is a mind of its own.
You can't control it,
It hurts if it's turned down,
But it's always going to be there.
The best thing you can do is try to embrace it.
Life isn't fair,
It simply never will be.
That's why it's important to make the most of it.
No matter who you are,
How different you may be,
There's always a way to overcome.
In the end,
Only the little things count anyways.
Society is cruel,
Your shunned and disrespected for being different,
Called bland and boring if you go by societies standards,
And called edgy if you openly dislike the system.
To be honest it doesn't matter,
Be who you want to be.
Don't listen to society.
Someone somewhere will appreciate you for who you are.
Everyone is unique.
No two people need or want the exact same things.
Don't let that put you down,
Let it invigorate you,
Let it drive you.
Let the knowledge that you are unique fuel you,
And don't let anyone tell you that your not
Love is strange.
On one hand, it's unpredictable,
But on the other that's part of the charm.
Love and emotion isn't something you can control.
True love can't be forced.
Just be yourself,
And if who your interested in can't respect you for who you are,
They aren't worth the time in the first place.
Some people have difficulty in things you might find easy,
Don't let that deter you.
Just because someone can't do something,
Doesn't make them worth time.
The best and closest friends are found in places you'd never think to look.
The clock ticks on.
People leave,
People die,
And yet the tick of time doesn't stop.
It stops for no one.
Instead of mourning over loss,
Cherish what you have received.
The moment won't last forever,
But the feeling you get will be there as long as your heart beats.
You won't always have the people you care for,
So it's important to remember the good times you've shared.
People who care about you sometimes do things you won't understand.
They will do things that may not be right,
But so long as you know they care,
You can take comfort in the fact that they mean well.
They only want the best for you in the end.
They may not always make the best choices,
But they most always will have your best interests in mind.
Authors note: IT'S FINISHED! Honestly this took way longer than I planned. I'm thankful for all the support especially from Holly(Petpyves) herself. This is suppose to be my own personal interpretations from each character of Twelve, each passage represents a character, starting with Imp and ending with May. I do hope you all enjoy. I may do more poems in the future so if you like this then keep an eye out.
