Time

Have you ever been in the middle of a test and get told you only have 15 more minutes to finish it?
Shitty.
Doesn’t that suck?

When you need more time but nobody can give it to you?

What about when your parents are on their way home and you were told to get the dishes done before they got home?
Once again
Sucks, doesn’t it ?

To want more time but that isn’t an option?

This is what we think of when we use the word “time” We think of how many minutes until the next bus comes or how many days until summer vacation starts.
But it is so much more than that.

We don’t think of time as something that we are constantly losing. It seems like something we have plenty of
Doesn’t it?
Time is free,

a beautiful gift that is given to us but also taken from us.

Not until you have felt how brutal it is. to be on your knees.
begging for more,
without any success,

Will you realize the importance of it.

What happens when you think you have all the time in the world and suddenly it gets ripped out of your hands?
your hands are left empty,
you are left empty.

No explanation,
No reasoning,
just your weak, bare, hands. Begging to get that time back.

But that’s the sad part.
Time is not like money.
You can’t receive more of it.
You can’t earn it,
You can’t save it,
and you can’t borrow it.
All you can do is stand there
And slowly,
painfully,
watch it run out.
Right In front of your innocent, doleful eyes.
And when that day comes
you will realize that it wasn’t enough time. It will NEVER be enough.

So use it wisely.
It is precious
and my darling,
the clock is ticking,
Our time is running out.
