All for one and none for me
If you'd watch then you would see

I can be more than you think
But I'm shot down before I blink

How long will I have to wait?
Is it just not in my fate?

Waiting waiting time will tell
Waiting in this waiting Hell

Sitting back as life rolls past
Better get a move on fast!

To me, cannot a day be saved?
A day, a moment, to be un-enslaved?

People say my time will come
But only times do come for some

Will I really have my day
What dragon's out for me to slay?

Time is ticking hardly left
Is stealing shotgun thought as theft?

Hi, I loved your poem. I'm not too sure about the ending though. I think It had a great start and the enthusiasm of the reader should flow through to the end.
I like these lines especially,
"Will I really have my day
What dragon's out for me to slay?
Good choice of words and rhyming too. I love the feel of the poem and It presents an imagery any reader can instantly connect to. Good Job
'when I'm gone, my words will remain...
your word is a weapon, either of destruction or re-construction, whatever you make of it,
It's your choice.'

(Oh yes! A poem, finally!)

Hello!

Right, so, nitpicks!

To me, cannot a day be saved?
A day, a moment, to be #FF0000 ">un-enslaved?


I think it would be better to say "not ensalved" rather than "un-enslaved."

People say my time will come
But only times do come for some


Puntuation?

#FF0000 ">Time is ticking hardly left
Is stealing shotgun thought as theft?


I think it should be "Time is ticking, hardling #FF0000 ">any left "#FF0000 ">(Also, you forgot your puntuation here too.
I loved you last line: Is stealing a shotgun thought as theft.

Very nice, the above line! But it should be "a" before "theft" and after "as". Though I'm not very confident about it.
