TIME.

It’s what we are given
It’s what we take away.
It’s what we lose.
It’s what we need.
It’s what we want more of.
It’s what we can’t have
It’s what we never had
It’s always ticking away
Its never ending
It’s timeless
It’s stopped

S D yes "there" is a purpose to the full stops.
Intended to speed up as you read at the end of the last six lines you should be reading quickly, then it stops.

I believe the French speaking population doesn't even amount to 25%. My mom was educated in Britain. She'd mock me unmercifully if I ever used an improper word.
