[size=12]Everyday
Is all the same
Get up, get dressed, move out for school
Long bus rides filled
With high-pitched screams and giggles
Try to enjoy, the endless half-hour
Listen to songs
Again and again
Until the bus pulls in front
Of our school

Go through classes
Try to pay attention
Try to stay awake
Time for lunch
Same old food
Never any change

Finish the day
Wait for the bell
March on out the door
Again, the bus,
Loud and Rough


Yet though these 30 minutes,
I gaze out the window
Look at the trees,
Shapes in the frost on the window,
Shapes in snow banks,
Puddles of slush on the floor,
And listening to those same old songs

Arrive at home,
Go to my room,
And pull out a pad and pencil
From here, I draw
Just draw and draw
For this same old day has given me inspiration[/size]
