Life is very interesting... in the end, some of your greatest pains become your greatest strengths
-Drew Barrymore


I sit in class waiting… daydreaming… bored. 

Should I start with notes or close my eyelids

Alas, my distraught mind can find no cure. 

An end’s nowhere in site; heaven forbid. 


The hour hand ticks, 12 minutes to ten

30 minutes of short freedom from class

I guess half an hour will suffice then 

I am hoping next class will fly by fast 


The loud bell reverberates through my ear drums 

I drag my drowsy body down the hall

Bored as well, the person next to me hums

Dismissal called, I rush through doors and fall


Finally, I arrive at my drive way 

Now I study for the rest of the day

I get ready every morning for school wishing for the day to end so I can return home. However, when I do, I find myself doing the same thing I've been doing all day: studying.
