The Broken Clock
I am a broken clock. I see the other clocks always proudly displaying what time it is. With confidence, and unwavering belief in self, they boldly state that it is 8:15. I am sat here shamefully mumbling that it is 2:47. I know that it isn't 2:47. I have no idea why I said it's 2:47. I have regrets that I've said it's 2:47. I have hurt others with my misinformation. The man is late for work. The woman forgets a call with her sick mother. The child wakes up early and unrested. The couple misses their flight. Despite this, I continue on. Minute after minute. Hour after hour. Relentlessly letting the world know that it is 2:47. I will not stop. I will not yield. I will not allow myself to take the time to discover the true time. I will simply be wrong, with every choice I make.
