Before I get an "E"

Location

Before I get an "E", let me explain something please,

I'm a very busy child and time always runs past me.

I know you've alerted us, but with myself I never discuss,

Procrastinating day in and day out, no wonder time always runs past me.

But here I am writing away, in hopes that late night heroics will save the day

Using what little time I have left is tough, when time always runs past me.

A stanza here and a rhyme scheme there, my ideas seem to be everywhere,

Yet I will not quit and hold on to every second because time always runs past me.

I hit submit and print out hot copies, this paper wasn't written by just anybody,

I wrote this paper with sweat sliding down my face and exhaustion, because time always runs past me.
