A Second Late
Location
The bell rings and all is in a hurry
Halls begin to crowd and students begin to worry
For an invisible timer has started to tick
And it was time to get to class quick
My heart begins to rapidly beat
As I was still far away from my seat
My path is clear but my movement is slow
For every turn there was someone to know
When the class was in my sight
Where I stood was the darkness and the class the light
As I reached for the door, I raised a hand to wave
My intentions were good but my results were grave
For the invisible timer had reached an end
And with it an hour of my education began to descend
Sent to a new class down the hall
Known for teaching students how to stare at the wall
Due to a system poorly created
I sat in there and silently waited
When the bell had rang and it was time to leave
My anger had swelled like you would not believe
What did I do to deserve this fate
For I was only a second late
