Where My Mind Goes During School

While staring at a wall that never seemed to move
I drift into a state that makes me unable to move.
One second i'm in school learning about pie
And the next at the park devouring a sweet apple pie.
The sun in my face, the grass at my feet,
The feeling of freedom all about my body.
The sky was so blue it seemed to be a cartoon
The trees so green like a late summer afternoon.
But for in the distance a colorful object seemed to move,
So i ran after it but I never moved.
My body was still, not a move about,
As the colorful object crept near.
Scared but in wonder I waited to see
What the colorful object could ever be.
Then a sound so harsh it could pierce through glass,
It was the bell telling me it was the end of class.

-The story will continue-
