Ah, Where Did The Time Go?

From one day to the next,

The clock keeps ticking. 

However I think I've been hexed

Because my plans are not sticking. 

Time has me perplexed

And I can hear my countdown clicking. 

Ah, where did the time go?

 

In and out of school, 

Everything is fighting for my attention 

School and SATS create my own chaotic whirlpool 

With too much info that needs retention 

Work and extracurriculars won't let school rule. 

Deadlines for applications quickly approach adding to my building tension.

Ah, where did the time go?

 

I find myself praying for one more hour in the day

In which I'll be able to get it all done. 

Because of my hard work, I should not dismay

Even if I feel as though I'm being undone. 

I know one day I'll be able to fondly say,

Ah where did the time go?
