Perspective

Finding timing in the times of no findings...

By Ashley ExumPublished 5 years ago 1 min read

On a course of unraveling this life in due time you know that all things has its own timing that has to be properly accessed

Nothing in which flows evenly of course

But emotions what are they?

I can only assume...vague thoughts

Sometimes the most irrational uncredited ones are the ones to be taken for credit

See sometimes it's the extra credit in a gross of effort that requires a sudden loss

to recover when you're astounded in an abundance of an overflowing event

When you show one face people will only see that face you've previously shown

forgetting the one you wear everyday

The one you show is the one they think they know

But do they even know you?

People loose passion in being compassionate.

We all want the things we can't keep

We all lone for the things we won't even remember when we can't sleep

But so how do we loose our way while trying to make a way

We live like there's no other way to live

So we live just enough for the next day

But a lot of times it seems nothing makes sense so you just take the day for what you think is worth forgetting it's actual worth. Time that is of course

It's crazy because we are the most certain when we begin to devalue things we feel have no worth awaiting for time to pass meanwhile the hours grow lonely

and yet we think we are...

But what is time if time is unknown to man?

How can we be certain of age when time itself has no definition to be addressed?

So now how old are we really?

About the Creator

Ashley Exum

I find comfort in knowing that the things I can’t always say when I part my lips to speak, that maybe those words are just better off written down and made plain that way. The art of storytelling best told through personal experiences.
