Tick Tock

Trying to keep it in our hands
Like a thirsty child holding water
Slipping through our fingers
Time is precious

We take advantage of it
Not realizing the fact
That some of us have less time
And some even lesser than that
Time is precious

Don’t waste a single drop of it
Make the most of how much you have left
Use it all up wisely because
Time is precious

We’re all here today
We won’t be here tomorrow
Since we’ve got time right now
Lets stop complaining about our sorrows
Because time is precious

A poem that I was forced to write in 15 minutes in class. No editing, no revising, not even reading it over and I’m going to leave it just like that.
