Time

changes so quickly.

Just when you get used to something,
Zap!
It changes.

Just when you begin to understand someone,
Zap!
They grow up.

Our days are measured in hours,
our pay measured by those hours,
our knowledge is measured by years.

Our life is made up of time.

We spend our school life either slacking all day,
rambling on nonsensical gossips and silly adolescent puppy loves,
or burying our heads in moutain-like piles of books,
just to score well for our upcoming exams.

While working,
we grab a few minutes in our busy day to have a coffee break,
we rush back to our desks,
we watch the clock,
we live by appointments.

Everything is spinning around us
- school, jobs, family, friends, lovers...
you just feel like screaming 'STOP!',
look around, rearranging the order of a few things
and then continuing on.

Yet time eventually runs out and you can't help but wonder
if those seconds, minutes, hours, days,
weeks, months, years and decades
were being spent the best way they possibly could.
