"Time Traveler's Dilemma"

​

In a world of endless space and time,

A patient came to me, a troubled mind.

He claimed to be a traveler from the past,

Sent to destroy the cause of humanity's last.

​

But every test I gave, it all came back clear,

His mind was sound, without a trace of fear.

And yet he swore, with utmost conviction,

That he had lived through history's collision.

​

I listened with a curious ear,

To tales of war and pain and fear.

He spoke of futures dark and grim,

And how he worked to change the paradigm.

​

But what is real, and what is not,

In this mind that's caught in thought?

Is he a savior, or just insane,

Lost in a world of grief and pain?

​

I can't say for sure, but one thing's true,

His story's captured my imagination too.

And in the end, that's all that matters,

The tales we tell, and how they scatter.

​

In the mind of this patient, lost in time,

A tale unfolds, both true and sublime.

Though it may not be fact, it's worth the retelling,

A hero's journey, a story worth dwelling.
