I am quiet <br />The clock is slow <br />The teacher talks fast <br />I inhale then exhale <br /> <br />I am anxious <br />The clock moves faster <br />The teacher is writing on the board <br />I inhale then exhale <br /> <br />I am excited <br />The bell is about to ring <br />The teacher gives the homework assignment <br />I inhale then exhale slowly <br /> <br />I am nervous <br />The bell has finally rung <br />I walk out of class heading in his direction <br />I can barely breathe now <br /> <br />I am brave <br />I wait for him to walk my way <br />He sees me, I open my mouth, but he walks in the opposite direction <br />I am left motionless<br /><br />Pamela Mote<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/dissed-2/
