Waiting

by Abbey (13 years old)
(Worthington, Ohio)

My stomach is turning,
I'm looking at the clock,
Will I get in trouble,
My friend is mad at me,
I don't know why,
My homework is lost,
But it's done,
It might be counted late,
I'll have to redo it,
The clock is ticking,
I don't feel good,
Will I make it out alive,
Why is my friend mad,
I'll have to wait and see,
She won't even talk to me,
I am waiting for answers,
I'll have to keep waiting,
Until break,
Can I wait that long,
Or will I die,
From waiting,
And waiting
The clock is ticking,
ticking,
ticking away the seconds,
And I'm still,
Waiting
