Starved for Time


By Justine C. Tajonera

I eat up my day
like a hungry,
starved child,
grasping and
greedy,
out of breath
from wanting
more.

Even when
I have sliced the
pie of my
life,
I scrounge
for scraps to
fit in my rest
and solitude.

If I were kinder
to myself
I wouldn't have to
cram my day
to the second.

All I have
is now
and it is always
enough.
