Tick tock hear the clock

My eyes are wide open

Nighttime is the time

But my eyelids yet to twitch

Letters marking time

Rather than the clock

Clap, they got it right

When will I go up?

Silence fills the room

As I strain my mind

How does it start with u

But sound like an a

Sobbing, no rhythm

Crying, leave the room

Tear lines on my face

I have met my doom

Music playing loud

Hanging all alone

Dictionary out

Opened to the front

My eyes scan each page

Taking in it all

Next year, that's the day

I will win it all

Waiting, why so hard

To wait a year to pass

Patience is the mark

Of spelling success

Drum beat playing loud

And filling the room

Look at you right now

You look really cute

I think I like you

It's the way you smile

Helping me out now

You're amazing too

Time passes quicker

But it never ends

Tick tock on the clock

It begins again
