Time

Time is a funny thing, it has a mind of its own.
When you least want it to, time slows down,
dragging the hours just for your pleasure.
When you least want it to, time speeds up,
flying through the days so very unexpectedly.
At times, those short five minutes feel like
a long five hours, sometimes even five days.
At times, those nine days of Thankgiving break
feel like a day, maybe even a couple hours.
Time creeps up on you, reminding you how
late you are for that appointment or meeting.
Time taunts you, reminding you how many days
you have to wait until you're done with school.
Sometimes those calenders flip through the
months with ease, usually during summer.
Sometimes those seven days you cross out
feel like a month let alone a single week.
They say time is money, yet I have to disagree.
Money is a lot of easier to control than time.
And saying that is saying alot, because money
is a very hard thing to put under your control.
Clocks, calendars, planners, datebooks, cell phones,
they're all there to help you keep track of time.
And still we manage to forget and stand there
helpless and confused, time beat us yet again.
They say those who manage their money right,
are the very successful people in life.
Yet, once again, I really have to disagree,
I say that those who manage their time right,
are the true successful people in life.
