Taking a deep breath,
I opened my eyes,...
The darkness and blanket,
Wrapped and enclosing me…
Heart pounding harder
Breath rate quicker
What a worse way to wake up
Having a dark nightmare!!!!
Turning to one side
I calmed my fast heart
Everything was fine
But still a bitter feeling
Glancing at my alarm,
Illuminated in the dark,
Was 6:15 –breathless
Sprang from bed, I was late!!!!!!!
Yelling and shouting,
I woke my sister up,
Told her we were late
And to do her stuff real quick…
Putting on my uniform
And combing my hair,
I woke my Mom and Dad,
In case the driver left..
Mom got up real quick,
She couldn't believe she overslept,
Quickly grabbing her phone,
She checked why the alarm wasn't set..
Now, the fireworks started,
Mom told this was no April fool,
Dad didn't find it the least funny,
To be woken up at an unearthly hour…
She threw the phone at me,
And asked me to go to bed,
Puzzled I looked at the phone
And had another heart's leap…….
So you see, what happened was,
My eyes had played a "little" trick,
Out of the shock I woke up,
I misread 3:30 to 6:15…..
Now, if that was the end,
It wouldn't be mine,
'coz it happened to be me,
The end would never be fine…
My sis came out running-Enraged
And started another round
Of wonderful and elaborated words,
That upon hearing, my ears grew red..
Instead of going back to bed,
She went to her bag,
Pulled out her calendar,
Whacked my head with it….
She turned pages and pulled out
A small white paper, well another shocker
That said "school closed for winter hols!!!!!"
She gave another whack and went off to bed.
So, I changed back from my uniform
Went back to bed, But couldn't sleep a wink,
So, here I'm penning it down,
But one question:
"If You Knew It….Then Why Didn't You Tell Me Soon???"
