I am lagging behind and trying to keep up, out of breath and wobbly.

Everything whizzes past in a determined fashion.

Time stops and darts as it pleases; sometimes it favours me and other times leaves me behind like a child lost in a zoo.

The tired humans around me don't seem to notice my incompetence. They don't realize I am not coping too well, possibly because they aren't either.

But of course, there is always some conscientious soul who blows the whistle or mocks you in a sing song voice, depending on his temperament.
