Timeless

….

The black and green lives in my memory,

Of a watch meant to be exemplary,

Grounding my principles from young,

Now I live by the tongue,

Now I live indescribably,

Now I live unreliably,

I have no anchor,

To cure my working rancour,

Described to be unfixable,

Sadly made me unstable,

No longer operational,

My values are no longer sensational,

I think I'll just be,

And hope for growth in me.

    This is kind of sad. It says a person who is desperate for direction, and I hope the person in the poem finds it. Well Done!!!
