The bell rings
Everyone rushed inside
Chairs scrape the floor
bags drop
the room smells like paper and dust
I sit down
and open my notebook
to a clean page
The teacher starts talking
right away
I try to listen
but my eyes drift
A bird lands on the window
it chirped
The clock moved slow
My hand writes my name
again and again
Finally, it's time to eat.
We stand up fast
almost too fast
The room fills with noise
laughing
shouting
running feet
The sun feelt brighter
Everything looked newer
even if it’s the same sun
again and again
Back to our seats
Recess is done
The lesson goes on and on
Somewhere in the room
someone sighs
Little things I noticed
to get by.
At last,
the final bell
Chairs moved again
bags are lifted
The classroom empties
I left my chair
and felt lighter
The classes ended
faster.
I got inspired after accidentally stumbling on @lymepoet In the Silence of the Night.
I don't know how that happened but it happened. My first try is much simpler compared to hers though.
Here's the link to her post that I read
