My Time Has Passed
MR.P The Silent Poet 2001 (MUBENDE)
My Time Has Passed
I feel like my time has passed.
I never really got a chance anyway.
To live.
To love.
To laugh.
Some are born to lose, no matter how hard they try to win.
Realizing that your ship has sailed, doesn’t mean defeat.
It’s just means that you’re accepting what never could have been.
And to continue living even though you’re dead, regardless of your heart beat.

About this poem
This poem is about a deep sense of resignation and acceptance that one's time or opportunity in life has passed. The key themes and messages I gather from the poem are: 1. Feeling like one never really had a chance or opportunity to truly live, love, and experience life to the fullest. 2. A sense of being destined to "lose" no matter how hard one tries to "win" at life. 3. Acknowledging that one's "ship has sailed" - meaning the chance or opportunity has slipped away, but this is not seen as a defeat, just an acceptance of what could never have been. 4. Continuing to live on, even though one may feel "dead" inside, regardless of the physical heart still beating. Overall, the poem conveys a melancholic and resigned tone, where the speaker has come to terms with the fact that their chance or time in life has passed them by, leaving a sense of unfulfillment and a life unlived. It's a reflective piece on the realities of missed opportunities and learning to accept one's circumstances, even if they are not what one had hoped for. more »
