Time

Time

The clock is ticking by so slow
But the day flies by so fast
I am alert with every sound
For the bell to ring at last

The nerves inside my stomach
Make it scream and squirm
I want to express this feeling
As I struggle in class to learn

I guess I knew that one day
The secret would slip out
But all that’s left inside me
Is fear, anger and doubt

What happens to one’s heart?
When everything falls through
And love just isn’t strong enough
To pull you through, too
