Emma Wang, class of 2026
how can time pass so quick
seemingly without limit?
so I demand It to stop,
and wait for me.
It does not listen but neither will I
So I wonder
How to force a clock hand to stop moving?
How to make one moment last forever?
How to say goodbye one more time?
these are questions I will ask
If Time stops to listen.
I'm Emma Wang from Arcadia High School. This poem connects to the theme of limits because time often feels limitless and you feel powerless to stop it from flowing. It's something often on my mind, because it's the one thing that we can never get back no matter what we do.
