Classroom Clock

 Author's Note: Clocks can be annoying and frustrating, but a regular clock is nothing compared to a classroom clock.


tick tock tick tock
you glance at the clock
the little arms moving ever so slowly
you know the final tick will trigger the long awaited bell
a clock either holds you down our pushes you away
it never lets you be comfortable or feel secure
but clocks were not made to make you feel comfortable
they are supposed to keep you on track
and that means either go go go or slow down
in school you are always hoping for the bell so you can move on
or you wish you could go back to previous classes
but if you think about it, it’s not the clocks fault
it’s your fault for not making an effort to enjoy where you are here and now
