Fifty-ninth and half second

Just before he takes you away

It really doesn't matter, 

If the clock kills you or the knife.

Birth is just a countdown to death!

 

The close ones, family, friends

Everything you think you achieved, stays back.

One fine day even a winner loses all bets!

 

A lifetime of memories, the flashbacks, 

The victories, the failures, the wishes,

Patiently wait to project inside your head!

 

On the fifty-ninth and half second,

It will all come back to you like fresh thought,

Everything you did since your first breath!

 

It really doesn't matter,

If the clock kills you or the knife.

Birth is just a countdown to death!

A lifetime of memories, the flashbacks,
The victories, the failures, the wishes,
Patiently wait to project inside your head!

A deep and profound write that points out to the reader the importance of seizing each moment for all it is worth. Brava:)

really well expressed, yes, from the time we are born we start to die...and what we do with the time given is very important...not even that half-second to waste.

One of the most rightfully honest poetry I have read. The point of view is perfect for my liking.
We come to an end only because we start. Although, this sounds depressing , if you look at the alternative...that sounds worse. Great write 👍

Thank U for appreciating the honesty :)

This was creepy and an expedition into the abject.
I found it disturbing, but not because of what you wrote...
It was how your gentle knod forced my imagination to create
its own demons. The truth here is pure shock and awe.
You killed with this one...no pun intended.

That is a killer appreciation, glad U liked it in a creepy way :)
