Time got the best of you, it took you away. Time is taking all of your thoughts and todays.
Belated.
Aw no, you didn't.
You didn't do it. I knew it.
You didn't make it happen, did you even actually try? Did something stop you? Was it a block in your side? Was your intent just a lie?
I know. It’s busy. We’re busy bees flitting around the office we’re sitting, we’re busy around our homes we’re netflixing, we’re so busy that our broken lives we’re not fixing.
Time got the best of you, it took you away. Time is taking all of your thoughts and todays, and I wish you had tried, even just once, even for an hour. I told everyone in the world you’d be there, powering the next big movement of thought.

Now they’re all talking without you and we ought to be hearing what it is you have in your mind. It’s yours, only yours, only you have those lines to deliver, only you have those concepts, a set of ideas that you've ignored and labelled inept but they’re not and if you just spoke them I bet you would hear something new, stepping over then to another, and another.
It’s addicting, I know. Speaking your mind, its the only real way to go.
Sure we can hide and sure we can soften and censor ourselves before we try, but I'm wondering if, maybe … you have another chance? You've got a head, it’s full of fire, full of life, and when you lie down in your bed, you know there’s words you could say all rife with realizations and lessons and the things that you've done. The things that you've seen that should never have been. Some lost little nuggets of wisdom.
So write them for us, if you don’t do it for truth, then do it because the world can’t be true. It doesn't have your part, you’re not here.
The world doesn't have you.
Promise me, next Wednesday, you’ll squiggle that drawing or jitter that poem or splash that paint onto the page: your story belated, you and the world relating.
We need it. I've told the world.
We've waited, and we’re waiting.
