Time Is Internal

Time

Stands still when suffering

But moves too quickly

When we are happy

A smell

Or a song

Or a memory

Can take us back in time

While anticipating the future

Takes us there

And reading

Takes us to the time

The story is set

Future or past

We have little triggers inside of us

That help us travel through time

Maybe not externally

Sure

But internally

We travel through time

Or manipulate it

Constantly

An 8 hour work day

At a job you hate

With a boss who sucks

Feels like forever

While laying in bed

With your lover

In the morning

Passes by

In a blink

Our internal

Is the main variable

With time

After all

Time is just our own invention

To measure something like progress

Or

Growth

It always only existed

Internally

Connected

Collectively

(An agreed upon delusion)

Yet still

Time lives

Internally

And

Subjectively.

Perhaps we are constantly traveling through this delusion.
