Time

Time is circular.
It has a rhythmic beat.
Every second ticks into a minute.
Every minute sweeps into an hour,
Sixty, twelve, twenty-four.

I try to ignore time.
It will not let me out of its grip.
Keeps me captive.
I beg time to release me,
Into the sweetest oblivion I know.

Time just laughs at me.
I watch the night fade into morning.
Morning erupt into night.
Damn Time for bringing me its favorite gift,
Insomnia!
