resilient

        time moves neither fast nor slow

                       steady    always

     it is emotions that rush on

                  hold us back

        consistently                unexpectedly

                giving us space      or

                   taking it away

          it is how it feels

                     how we feel    and

           how we deal with our time

                    we are resilient

               and that can hold us back
