“I’m going to be late”
– mundane
– overused
– sounds like it’s your fault

“The cold and unfeeling machinations of fate have once more thrown my plans into disarray”
– mysterious
– implies some kind of impending doom
– sounds like the start of a villainous monologue

@XanIndigo TWW: When you tell of something it is of you, not of the listener and shows you creating an image and using your song to share it. The recipient hears or reads this song through their judgment and creates an image of their own. That image is never as yours and as they share in return it may be in agreement or disagreement but it is never the same. *I have always enjoyed this and occasionally try to imagine the images my words and songs make in the mind of another.OWOP
