Because I Can

Location

Early morning frustrated because a lack of sleep

Walking down the school contemplating about sleep

First class i went through with ease

now im hoping my second class ends like a slight breeze

I check my phone because it became a habit

Now i got text messages I see that ignites my laughing

But I continue to my second class fearing not to be late

I would of been there earlier if i had roller skates

I roll pass students still laughing at the text i recieved 

that must have been the funniest text in 2013 I believe

I arrive at my classroom amazingly not a minute late

quickly searching for a seat trying not to engage an awkward state

so as my teacher start the lesson i burst out laughing in my mind

scruching my face and shutting my eyes as if I was blind

that text message appear to be permantly stuck in my head

but it would be more hilarious if i actually saw it again

so I pulled out my phone scrolling through my phone

then I heard "put away your phone" in a loud stern tone

I looked up and replied "why?"

He said "because I said so"

I said "no"

then asked whats the "problem with electronic devices in class?

It shouldnt concern you because you still get payed in advance

if you give me one legit reason to why i need to put it away 

i will not and in sight it will stay

and to be honest I know there won't be one even if you tried man

but this phone is staying out because I can

do that

not let me look at my phone so I can continue to laugh".
