Out of Sync

A Poem by Favour Achile
"

A poignant reflection on losing control and finding peace amid life’s chaos. It speaks of struggle, surrender, and the quiet hope to keep fighting.

"
There are days that, you can't seem to understand what's going wrong around you
There are days you understand perfectly your life
Some days you have two main course on your plate, and you understand only one

Well that is my world; the world I live in. 
Some days it spins fast and I follow the tide
Some days I get thrown off the planet
Some days we are as slow as a snail
And we need to be somewhere on time
Other days I'm the snail trying to keep up a cheetah

Some days the world is on pause
I can't make it play
Other days I'm on pause
While the world is on fast speed

Some days I want the world to slow down
But it only gets faster
I guess you know what happens when I want it to be fast

I have no control over what goes in my life
And when I do, ever decision I make is wrong
Yet what goes on without control is right
What a world I live in

Torn between desire, will and a chosen path
Never meant to be one piece
Choose one, the others tear you apart
Two or three more, you're are battle ground
You can't choose all unless maybe you desire your grave

All I can say to poor me
Is Sorry, I couldn't make it okay for us now
And little us then
I hope you find a place in your heart to forgive me
For giving up on you, on us, on she, on them, on the world
For hurting you
For disappointing you

But I want you to know
I had no control over what has happened
What is happening 
And what will happened

I live this day and fight with the little broken pieces of ourselves we saved
I only fall when they run out

Prepare
I might come home
I might come home
But if I don't
Please take little us, future us, and past us to meet me in the present
Then gently lay me in the only place man can find peace

I'll keep fighting
Till I give up on life

It's important to be efficient with your opening when writing the poetry. Word economy is always important with regards to poetry but especially in those first few lines. Gotta bait the hook with something fast and edible.
