Time stands still for the likes of me <br />Other than this moment, time does not exist <br />There is no past or future beyond this moment <br />Just this moment in time exists, and nothing more <br /> <br />The passage of time has no effect on me, ill or otherwise <br />I do no feel it's passing <br />It's comings and goings are lost on me <br /> <br />I am stuck - lost - in a timeless era <br /> <br />I do not seem to age, neither physically nor mentally <br />They say it is only 'natural' for my body to look and feel 'young' <br />It is merely my age that makes me feel this way <br />That it is only my youthfulness <br />But why, then, does my mind not age? <br /> <br />I have felt no progression on my part since grade school <br />I feel as though the past ten years did not exist <br />Middle school and high school are a blur to me <br />No real memories or recollection of that time in my past <br />I have nothing to prove it ever existed, save for the passing of time <br /> <br />Yes, time has stopped for me <br />My memory is at a standstill <br />I have a brain freeze that has lasted nearly a decade <br />I look no older than a 15 year old girl <br />A high school sophomore <br />And I carry virtually the same mentality <br /> <br />Time stands still for the likes of me<br /><br />DiAnne Douglass<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/time-stands-still-for-the-likes-of-me/
