As I'm writing this the seconds fly by...time, slow down, I can't keep up and I'm always in the past.
Assignments, projects, classes with a schedule to cram in, must make me a busy student
I find myself listening to the tick-tock of the clock as I clench my fist trying to grab a hold of time.
No matter how much I get ahead or behind, time does not wait for mankind.
As the clock chimes and reminds us of the time before you know it's midnight.
All throughout my struggles and endeavors I utter a cry of defeat as time slips on by and through my grasp.
Now I, exhausted, crawling to bed and my work incomplete is a constant reminder time is something you can never beat.
