To Time

Time has slowed

Nearly coming to a stop

The teacher drones

On and on

On and on

The clock never moves

I wait and wait

Wait and wait

For it to move

For class to be over

To get on with my day

And get on with my life

 

Time is speeding by

Quicker than before

Leaving me

Barely any time

I’m not done talking

Just not done

With anything

The bell rings

But I’m still not done

 

I wish time would slow

When it rushes right past

But then it would creep

I wish time would be faster

When it moves at a snail’s pace

But then it would hurry by

Leaving me behind

 

So I’ll just wait

When time inches along

And I’ll do as much as I can

In the little time I have

When time flies

I’ll use the time I have

Not wasting it

Subjecting my life

To Time

Nothing wrong with being a guy and liking poetry!!!

Anyway-

Good poem, and a clever usage of repetition without being too "lumpy". I get the feeling you're feeling a bit out of control with something in your life from the poem, and a bit confused at that...Im not much older then you, (so this sounds funny) but, I can recall that feeling.

Feels kinda lyrical as well. I can hear a slight tune too it.

Keep writing.
