Clock Strikes Nine

Everyone stirs

But I am still

Not wanting to move

Not wanting to go to my next class

Not wanting to be seen

I am hidden 

I am invisible


Clock Strikes Ten

Everyone scurries

But I am frozen

Not wanting to stand

Not wanting to learn

Not wanting to speak

I am hidden 

I am invisible


Clock Strikes Twelve

Everyone runs

But I am paralyzed

Not wanting to laugh

Not wanting to eat

Not wanting to walk

I am hidden

I am invisible


Clock Strikes Two

I sprint

Wanting to leave

Wanting to go home

I  am seen
