Misfits

In the world we live in, we play a game called life. And in this game, we , as different people fall prey to different things. However, as cruel as i may deem it to be, there is that one thing we all lose to. No matter who you are, how powerful , or how intelligent, you lose to that one thing that seems forever invincible. That is time.

Many things happen for a certain reason or certain cause that leads to finally a conclusion and all that is bound by time. I lost to time a lot of times, we;va faced off severaql times and unknownigly or knowingly, i have lost to "it" on all counts. How do you handle the loss of a loved one owing to death ? How do you handle falling in love with a special someone who is attached? how do you handle getting into something you never wanted to because you had too little time to decide? Well actually people, you dont handle it. You just laugh off it, get frustrated and move on. Trust me, i am no novice in this area. Time involves everything, it involves life, its chances or even a game of tennis or any other sport.

Yet time does not solve the realism of the world for you. It only makes things less great. Thats life, chances are, you dont know what you want and when the strain of time gets by u end up choosing what isn't meant to be, at all. As in tennis, You rush time, or you get so excited to bring forth the game, you try to beat time you rush things and you lose your first serve. As much as life is forgiving because you get a second chance, your second serve is normally a lousier one. Time has no mercy, theres no consolation prize for losing time by a lil . So come on people, between you and i, start counting, how many times have you lost to time?

Then as we even have time, we still lose, even though we're ahead. As i cleared the gantry from the train station last night i felt coins in my pocket, i headed straight to 7/11, thinknig i'd probably want to buy a drink or maybe a bag of chips. As stared down at the freezers and freezers of drinks and the racks of chips, i put the coins back nito my pocket and i left the seven eleven, then, realizing that i actually din want anything or something that i thought i wanted was actually never there. Such is life, we want the wrong things or what we thoought we wanted wasn't what we wanted or either it was never there to begin with. I know it sounds silly, but think about it people, what is it that you know you definitely want besides the necessities of life? And if so u know, how are you gonna go about getting it?

time itself is a powerful source, sometimes i feel even more than that of religion, because so much things happen because we lost to time. That exlpains the "if only(s)", " Why did i" , " i wish i was" , " i regret", etc. This tricky stance of life, is it something we are bound to bow down to? i confess that im tired with everything around me and the time i must get by inorder for it to finally happen or for me to move on. but inthe mean time, im stuck in the moment and i cant get out, i cant step in or out because we dont know what time will give us tomorrow so the only thing i can do is to look at today, at now and see what may happen. Still that is not an answer, it is a guess and chances are we're wrong because time plays the game so much quickly and better than us. That explains the unpredictable shit part of life.

Personally, i haven won time before. In fact, im losing to it now, and it seems like im going to lose at the end. But stil, our stubborn minds or our silly hearts push us to keep trying , not to gain respect, or to see disappointment, but to accept the fact that we're always going to lose .

The clock has been ticking for me the last 17 yrs and u realise 17 is not young. time is but just a number, its what follows through that hurts. i wanna know everything. dont you?

Enjoy
