Time will reveal everything I want to know now.
I wish time was just the name of a street.
I’d drive a black car up and down time.
I’d be happy.

&quot;Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure...We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God.&quot;

Love the poem! but maybe if you talked about why it would make you happy in the last line it would flow better.

i feel like it's a bit redundant.  simple poems seem to sit with me much more smoothly than a longer one but i feel like this poem is lacking feeling.  the first two lines i felt were setting me up for a beautiful metaphor or introducing me to your message.  the third line kind of threw me off a bit.  i think it would have been more interesting for me to see as a reader, something more along the lines of what names you would've picked or metaphorically traveling down the road revisiting something.  i like the idea a lot but i feel it needs some tweaking.

I think the ending of your poem needs more work. It seems a little weak. But other than that your poem seems to carry a lot of meaning in it.

Although this poem is short it is very thought provoking. I like the whole idea of time in the poem and how simply you put the words to be understood by many people.

It doesnt have much power. I wasn't shell shocked or stunned at the end.....you should work on the ending. This poem is very good, yet it also has great potential!!!! 8)
