Time ticks

We just got here

And I am ready to leave

Yet time moves so slowly

I can hear every sound

Someone chewing food

Some kids being rude

And boy is it leaving me in a bad mood

I try to shut it out

But that makes it louder

Till the sounds take over my brain

And how they quickly drain

That battery in my head

On the last 5%

Teetering off the edge

Holding back tears I’m trying not to shed

As the battery beeps its last goodbye

And dies in my mind

I shut down

And I freak out

Because it was too loud

We up and leave

And I feel like a mess

Please don’t blame me

For what goes on in my head

I have a battery that dies rather quickly

I wish it held longer

I wish I was stronger

But I’m not

Just hear me out

As I say

It didn’t make my day

It was just too loud
