Time Is Passing By

Minute by minute
Hour by hour
Day by day
Week by week
Month by month
Time keeps passing by
And it goes by faster and faster
Faster and faster
Pushing through each tough week at school until the weekend arrives, then another week starts
And suddenly I realize it's already April
And I've been single for nearly two whole months
The March orchestra concert is over and we're already playing our repertoire for the next concert
Battle of the books came and went
Two whole terms just whizzed by
And there's only two months left of school

Time is still speeding past, with no signs of slowing down
I lie on my bed looking at random stuff on Pinterest for a few minutes after school,
Next thing I know it's 7:00pm and I need to practice trombone, eat dinner, and do my homework.
I eat dinner and then manage to get some practicing in,
But oh, what a shame, it's 9:00pm and I don't have time to do my homework AND write stuff on Wattpad,
Also I'm tired and want to go to bed at a decent time so I can be on time for band tomorrow morning...
...Wattpad it is.
Next thing I know it's 9:30pm and I'm too tired to leave my bed.
I guess I'll sleep now! Oh, too bad, I'll do my homework later.
I keep telling myself "I'll do it later,"
But it seems that later has yet to come.
I'm getting tired of waiting for later o'clock.
