Time spent complaning about time is time wasted.

Time spent complaining about time is time wasted.

The clock tells the time

Every hour it chimes

With its ticking

And tocking

As if it is mocking

Persistently counting

While I am pouting

About time that has past

Too slow or too fast

But why complain

I have nothing to gain

For each minute I vent

More time has been spent

It’s something I cannot change

I complain too much sometimes.  Time is probably one of them.  I look at the clock and realize that time is going by too slowly or too quickly.  There's really nothing that I can do about it.  So why do I keep whining about it?  I should just face the facts and enjoy what time I have and what I'm able to do with the time that I'm given.  

Life

Life is hard.
Sometimes it's too hard.
Isn't there a way to make things easier?
You grow up too quickly.
It's too fast.
Where have the years gone by?
There's too many rules.
Too many regulations.
Too many requirements.
It's too much.
I want to live it, but where do I start?
Time is ticking.
It's not waiting.
Sometimes I wish it would slow down.
Stop even.
Let me have a breather.
I need a break.
But, no.
It goes on.
With an unrelenting speed and certainty.
Like it's taunting me with constant nagging perpetuity.
I often think I'm not ready for this.
How can I live when I don't know how?
I'm unqualified.
I'm unprepared.
I'm not life ready.
Do I have to be an adult?
Do I have to to this now?
I just feel like life is kicking my butt.

Do you ever feel overwhelmed?  I know I have.  Life goes by too quickly, things pile up, your beat up physically and emotionally.  Give us a break!  I often feel like there's so much I WANT to do and there is so much that I HAVE to do.  Like all at once sometimes too.  I feel like I'm growing up too fast.  I'm not ready to be an adult.  I'm not ready to face this big world on my own.  But, you have to get out there and face it.  It'll be a challenge but in the end you'll have these experiences with you that you will have learned from.  And the people you meet and the things you do will help you along the way.  Live you life!  It's going by and it won't slow down!  I just gotta keep that in my head over the next few days, weeks, and years of my life.  I hope you enjoyed the poem!
