Unnecessary

Ash would my bones be,
had I been on fire,
frozen would my skin be,
had I plunged into a wintry pond.

Time is a merciless vessel,
who stops for no one,
and throws off those unfortunate
enough to hesitate.

All these years spent
carrying around my walls,
which only recently became
one-way bridges.

All this time spent
on finding who I am,
what I stand for,
and where I want to go.

All these hours spent
lazily, indecisively,
impulsively, foolishly,
with progress only on occasion.
