Time

The negative words eat at the tiny fragments of individuals trying to think and be positive. Mom slowly creeps in my mind, "If you don't have anything nice to say, then keep your mouth shut!" I take a step back and see all of my family and friends. It seems like every moment will last forever. I slowly sit back in my chair and time keeps ticking. I reach back to grab the camera and then I pause for a second, "Mom, I'm thankful for the time we have together and I will not be ungrateful once your time here with me is up. I wish I could break the curse of death, but I'm sure even darkness has its purpose. As time goes on and my day comes, you'll be the reason why I step into the light."
