Time that is not free

I spent a couple of hours delaying to write.

Hungry for words, the words found me.

I spent a couple of days beating around the bush.

Failing to deliver a hint, the hint found me.

I spent a couple of weeks trying to understand.

Waiting for answers, answers found me.

I spent a couple of months trying to get better.

Seeking recovery, recovery found me.

I spent a couple of years missing my old self.

Striving to get back my life, my life found me.

I spent a lifetime thinking of my purpose.

Searching for meaning, meaning found me.

I still spend much time delaying action.

Time that is not free.
