Time: an Ever Flowing River
Time
A river flowing with various twists and turns
No predictions of where it’s going
Saying you have a choice is unrealistic
Time is only a perception of occurrences
Ever Changed
never by us
A predetermined future
A story we’re trying to write
But there's already a story about that
Born into a world not having choices till 18
But then do you even have a choice?
Fate
Hitting harder every second
Never living in the present
Solely living in the future
Never seeing the present
It's so minuscule
Only a Planck length
The branches that hit you towards the mouth
Always getting closer,
But you never know when you're going to reach it

I have been doing a project in English class. Our teacher asked us to write an extended methaphor. Without really realizing what I was writing I ended up with a rough draft of this piece and I loved it. Afterwards I worked countless hours on revising it and adding more in depth details and using RADaR to just get this piece to where I felt comfortable showing the class. Most people didn't pick up a lot of what I was trying to mean, but then I felt the need to publish it to hopefully share this with more than just my class. People who might interpret this in many different ways so that this might cause them to think differently about life and make the most of it.
