Where did the time go?

Where did the time go? 

It only felt like summer break 

just started yesterday. 

How are we already about to be a third

into the year? 

It feels like everytime I blink

a week goes by.

I remember the beginning of this year 

like it was a month ago. 

Time just seems to disappear in an instant, 

just like a flash of lightning 

on a rainy night. 

You don’t realize when time comes and goes 

until it is already gone. 

Remembering the times of the past 

and realizing how much time has passed. 

Time is such a precious thing,

amazing to have but gone in flash.  

Even though it may not seem like much at first,

it will always be something 

that you wish you could get back.

I really enjoyed my time making this piece and it opened my eyes on how fast time passes. It has made me realize that time is gone in an instant and you can't get that time back. Especially to see how fast the high-school years have gone by, to now being a senior. I was mind blown on how fast time is actually passing and now to only have around a month and a half of my senior year left is crazy and a little scary.
