Time Management
A poem
Time is not an illusion. It’s the currency of life, which allows us to invest in living.-Henery X
Time Management
2024, Henery X ©
I was in a race against time,
But at a quarter passed nine.
I was done,
As it continued to run.
Moving at the same pace,
As if it didn’t have a second to waste.
And as I observed its motion,
I had this notion.
To not emulate,
See, I realized I was allowing time to dictate my fate.

To be at my best,
It’s a must that I get the proper amount of rest.
This is called time well spent,
I realized a second is a dollar, not a cent.
So, the question became. How will I spend my dollars?
Will it be through interacting with deans and scholars?
Intending to evolve my comprehension,
For self-improvement or so I can be in contention.
With friends who become foes,
Because my highs bring about their lows,
Now the sky knows my nose.
Better than the people who once knew me,
You know, the same people who now say screw me,
And that they wish they never knew me.
No, Sir.
Not I,
Until the day that I die,
I’m gonna continue to provide answers to the question why,
So others will do and never try,
Soar and not just fly,
And know that the limit is not the sky.
But the Universe,
Always search for correct knowledge as if it’s water, and you’re dying of thirst,
Allow proper understanding to be your doctor and your nurse,
And never lose sight of the fact you’re a gift, that wasn’t meant to be controlled by a systematic curse.
The moral of the story is not to waste time worrying about time, but to ensure we spend our time wisely. See, time is all about seconds, minutes, and hours. This is its nature, which it never stops or changes. How can we compete with tunnel vision such as this? We have to use our time on our terms but, like time, ensure our routines will evolve into habits, which will eventually become second nature.
What we invest our time in indicates what matters most to us at that very moment.-Henery X
