I'm Running out of time.
Time is something that doesn't wait for anyone.
When we were kids we thought we had all the time in the world,
But as we grow older, we realize we have none.
Our existence is nothing.

We're all running out of time.
We only have 4 more years after this.
Some of us will pursue more, some of us will end it there, or end it before we make it.
I've seen people have their time cut short.
It isn't pretty.

I'm running out of time.
I have to make sure I get the grades expected of me.
I have to write, but don't waste time, it's 'precious'.
I write with speed, to not waste the time I don't have.
I can't waste a single second.

I'm running out of time,
Will I ever be satisfied with anything I do?
Will I ever satisfy the people around me?
Or will I forever be a disappointment,
A waste of time.

I'm writing as if I'm running out of time.
School is fun, until you're the 'gifted kid' who eventually burns out.
You can't escape it.

I'm running out of time,
To be the top of my class, to be remarkable,
something that people don't think I could ever be.
Don't settle for 'second best.'
Second best is first loser.
If I'm not using my time wisely, I'd be a fool.
I barely even used any time, but I'm already running out of it.

I'm running out of time,
I can't pursue new hobbies, out of fear I will drop out of it.
You can't waste time anymore.
I'm not a kid anymore.
We aren't kids anymore.

I'm running out of time.
I have to do what's most important.
Even if that means losing the parts of me that I love, The things I cherish in life.
One bad grade is everything.
I don't have the time for bad grades.

I'm running out of time,
We all are.
All of us are slowly breaking, to not care about this system we're stuck in anymore.
To use our time as we please.
Some will break free, some will not.

We aren't kids anymore.
We're all running out of time.
We have to use it wisely now.
Before it'll be stripped from us.
