Over Time...

There are times
when things perpetually
  go wrong
  become worse
  remain relentless
as if death is on overtime
trying to cut its way through
all you have
and all you are
before dragging
whatever is left
into a dismal grave
where your only relief
might be found

There are times
when nothing seems to
  add up
  work out
  matter
as if the sum of all your efforts
in all the extra hours you work
tying to make them amount to
  something
  anything
are all just futile measures
of compounding nothing
by powers of zero

There are times
when your whole life seems
  disappointing
  unfulfilling
  useless
as if there were a universal script
where your character was phased out
  without triumph
  without defeat
without notice
and you are left waiting for some cue
to perform your part in a scene
that was cut
along with your character
and any relevance
you might have had

There are times
that you have to get over
  Short Times
  Long Times
  Even Life Times
of trying to ascend the face
of a mountain of dung
as the rain pours heavily

There are times
you must get over
  sometimes
  many times
  all of time
If you allow these times
  to remain above you
  and act as if you are under them
then you will only feel the weight
of being under these times
as these times crush you
with the very dreams
that you left on the far side of time
and became detached from

There is time
You must get over
  the past
  the future
  the present
Your life, Your time
  is now
  is always
It's all under your thumb
It's all at your feet
It's all beneath you
Time is always underway
You have to rise above it
You have to get over time
