Tick Tock
The clock strikes one
You wait for the bell to ring
Allowing you to go to the one most hated class
English
Books pile up in your locker
Because you have no space at home
Tick , RING 1'o-clock
1:05 The second bell rings
The time slows down and ugh
It can never end
Hello Shakespeare, hello Frost, hello Carrell
Words flutter into your mind
And form a small sentence
The thesis for the essay
You never could complete
The teacher comes closer and closer
Time slows down to milliseconds
She takes two steps closer
Tick tock
You write down another sentence
Tick tock
One step away
Tick
Looks over at you
Tock
Reaches for the paper
Tick
You write the last sentence down in a hurry
The paper meets her hand and she smiles
Like a devil would do in church
The bell rings and the only thing in your mind
Was how loud the clock was
Tick tock
