Emit
I can tell it,
But it will not listen
As it passes by.
At one point I had it,
But now I can't find it
So I must buy it.
It's a challenge to make
But tempting to take
So often I do.
Adversity strikes,
I surely am in it,
Seldom on it.
Laughter and tears
Are all but forgotten
When they're given it.
If you ask me for it
I will share it with you
Always, openly.
I struggle to quell
The impulse to kill it
Though it will surely kill me.

That was a really great teaser! Keep 'em coming.
I have to say I really liked this teaser!! Well done!
Awesome job for your first teaser!
Very well written, and enjoyable
very neat!
Very good !!! Enjoyed it..
Any of these stanzas would have been a sufficient enough riddle. I especially liked the last one, had it been a standalone riddle it would have been perfect. Other than that, I question one's ability to "buy time" in a general sense (I know you can buy time at a spa or something similar, but that seems too narrow compared to the focus of the rest of the piece). Anyways, well done otherwise.
Very easy, but still good. And well written.
Nicely written, however the title gave it away?
