Time slips slowly on ward
It slowly snakes on by
It needs to travel faster
I feel like I’m about to die
The bell needs to strike soon
So I can run on out
My stomach now is growling
And I’m ready to shout
A voice is steadily grinding
Away like a moving stone
My brain wants it to stop
So I can go on home
Why must I go through this
And sit with nothing to do
My body now goes numb
With the lack of things to do
The 5 minuet mark is reached
That’s all there’s left to kill
And the zippers start to zip
As the teacher says “sit still”
But the students won’t obey
For the time is now at hand
As the last minute is in sight
And freedom reaches out her hand
