School Takes Over

Tick tock tick tock,

Time slips away from you.

Am I really learning anything,

Or am I just pretending? 

Waiting for the time to pass,

I sit in the back of the class,

Scribbling on the back of my test.

School does not allow me much sleep.

Stress,

Nightmare,

Test, 

Am I really there? 

Anxiety.

The mask around my face,

I feel like it's suffocating me. 

Tap tap tap. 

My leg bounces up and down. 

How much time until I’m free again?

    It saved my life.
    The one thing you can always count on.
    It will be there no matter what,
    Waiting for you to pick up the headphones,
    And plug them in.
    Take a listen to someone else’s life,
    Someone else’s struggles.
