I am
A student
A friend
A driver
And right now I’m in school
In Mrs. A’s class to be more exact
Writing this paper
Trying to think of something to put down
Thoughts keep on coming
But as soon as they come their gone
I am
Never going to get this done
Never going to get an A
Never going to pass
But if I never try I can never succeed
So I sit
And think
And think
And think
I am
Starting to fall asleep
Starting to drift away
Starting to dream of pretty things
But soon my fun is spoiled
And Mrs. Everly comes
And taps on my shoulder
And says I must stay awake
I am
Now awake
Now fast at work
Now typing this paper
Still have no idea what to write
But I have to look like I’m working
Otherwise I’ll get my second strike
I am
Waiting for the idea to just pop out
Waiting for it to hit me in the face
Waiting for the bell to ring
But it is still so far away
Got twenty more minutes to go
I am
Surprised by how good this is turning out
Surprised that I still haven’t fallen asleep
Surprised by how easy this way
But now that it is almost done what will I do
I know I’ll just lay back and wait
Hope I don’t fall asleep
But now that my work is finished
Who cares?
I am Done!
