Seen every minute on the clock
Watched every day go by
Took every turn
Seen it all
Crash and burn
Felt the sun rise
Sting my eyes
Ignored the pain
Of the sun set
Coughed up blood
Spit out my soul
Stood outside
In the rain
Gained their trust
Cursed them all
I knew my way
But I took the wrong turn

The author's comments:
This doesn't exactly pertain to me, just something I came up with. I thought of it when I looked at the clock one night and wondered what it would be like to see some thing new, and I thought "I've seen every minute one the clock." Thought it sounded poetic but I'm a rookie so you tell me. :)
