Time

It's is bizarre how time goes by. No matter what you do, no matter how hard you try to stop it; the world will continue to turn at the same sluggish pace and time will continue to slip through your fingers, like the sand from an hourglass. We like to think that we have control over time, we have labelled day and night and forced events to particular times, but in reality we have no control at all.
The strangest part is time's ability to fool you; some hours drag on for what seems like months and some weeks appear to pass in minutes. I will never be able to understand why I continue to put my trust into these distressing time waves only to have then repeatedly crash down around me swirling me into a state of panic.
Once again I find myself at a much anticipated date, much too soon and fully unprepared.  How did I neglect to realise that time would fool me again? If I'd thought for a moment I would've figured out how quickly this day would come and I may have been more prepared.
But no.
Once more I have fallen sucker to time's charming arms and let it smother me into a peaceful waiting. I would like to say that I will learn from this and that next time I'll plan my time more carefully but who am I kidding? I will never beat the clock, the clock always beats me.
