Time

Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day
You fritter and waste the hours in an offhand way.
Kicking around on a piece of ground in your home town
Waiting for someone or something to show you the way.

This is so true. Time goes by and we always think we are going to have more time. But we don't, and when we look back we wonder why we missed out on a opportunity. That may have been the one. People we lose, thoughts we ignore, things that seem to be irrelevant but nothing is irrelevant. Ever. And as we grow older maybe we start thinking we are going to grasp it, but only as we mature we really learn. We learn no to miss the starting gun and keep running because life is like a shark, it has to keep moving or it dies.
Why are we so scared of breaking away from the comfort zone? Why do we hesitate? Why do we try to escape from what we know is inevitable? Avoidance, Deflection, they aren't really solutions. Plunging headlong into what we want is. And sometimes it feels you are plunging into a 3ft deep empty pool. And still feels like drowning. But only then we are able to break free from hypocrisy and take stuff seriously. Only then we learn to control time.
