time

Clocks ticking

Pens clicking

Typing away on laptops

Yawns due to sleep deprivation

Sighs in frustration

Foot taps as if to hurry up time

The group of whispers in the corner

And you,

The music too loud in your ears

Just trying to drown out the thoughts that threaten to swallow you

Sitting here in this classroom

You stare out the window and wonder what's beyond the hills

What's over the horizon

Thereś so much more than you could imagine, but thatś not what scares you

What scares you is you might be stuck here your whole life

The clock keeps on ticking reminding you that life doesn't last forever
