Detention According to Me

By Tigbaby

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

Standing in a crowded room does anyone hear my screams, my fears, my heart as the clock ticks and as you walk by. Everyone notices the clock ticking away with time as if they are sinking to the point of no return. Papers fly past but all is silent except my screaming at the top of my lungs to get your attention from the clock. But no flash, no look, no twitch did you give for you too were finally caught in the point of no return. As I turn and walk away I notice the clock and its possessor laughing in a way an jailer laughs at his prey. I continue walking until I am caught my self within the papers and the clock ticking as if laughing once more as I fell silent and just stood, stareing into the point of no return.
