Analysis of Time
Kailey Norris 2004 (North Carolina)
Time is my glass corridor,
I can see all, but only move in one direction.
The sound of my footsteps echo,
Sounds of replayed memories muffled by glass.
Time has robbed me.
Time is a shrinking room.
Getting smaller, getting thinner.
Less to see, less to find.
My screams unheard from the outside,
Left only to wait for an exit
