Well would you look here-
You’ve written a rhyme,
Explaining why
You have no more time.
Suppose you shall show them
A typical day
Because you lack all other
Good words to say.
Don’t fear the silence
That thrives in the car.
Relax and chill out;
Your school isn’t far.
Walk up to class,
As the ringing bell ends.
Nod your head and wave
To your happy friends.
Meet the girl’s eyes,
Then sigh; look away –
Long ago you ran out
Of the right words to say.
Still softly recite
Your silent prayer.
Although she’s grown distant,
She is still there.
Stop looking through
The window’s glass.
Take time to note changes
Going on in your class.
Spanish is done;
Your morning’s half over,
But Mrs. C’s mad,
And none know what drove her.
Family Life skills
Is done in a blink.
Get up, slowly now,
And take a long drink.
Rest; fall asleep
In Biology.
Hope and dream
That the teacher won’t see.
Talk with your homeroom
At lunch, while you eat.
Then finish your homework
That’s still incomplete.
The next two classes
Pass by very slow.
What were they about?
You really don’t know.
English arrives;
You guess life’s not fair,
Or, at least, so it seems,
If your name is Jane Eyre.
Rush back to homeroom,
Drop off your things.
Now head to the room where
The choir simply sings.
Don’t dream about summer,
Just don’t dream at all,
For now you must go
Manage basketball.
Two hours go by.
Homework? Still more.
That’s all shoved aside
As you watch twenty-four.
You turn on the TV,
“Very stable, well done,”
It compliments you.
Isn’t wii fit great fun?
You had Marial over;
Y’all made woopie cake.
Though somehow you’re grounded
From her till Spring break.
Look Forward
To Spirit Week -
Who can be the biggest freak?
You must go to your room
So you read or you play.
Then you open the Word,
And you listen and pray
For the girl that you saw
And the boy in that chair,
And the ones you see hurting,
Because someone should care.
Listen to music,
Leave your conscious world,
And watch as the dream boat
Drifts off, sails unfurled.
