Original Expectations

Original Expectations

Lawrence Watts

I tried to walk up as calm as the sea,

But Fear inside of me was speaking loud.

I was not feeling like the bourgeoisie,

So I decided to please the big crowd.

Hands moving fast just like Michael Dwanye Vick,

I hear my heartbeat and begin to end;

Sprint to my seat as if I were so sick,

Now time to wait for the results to send.

Time has come to see who has won the race,

Name’s at the top and I am in great shock!

Classmates probably see my happy face,

And look over to see a bright red block.

At first, I was more fearful than ever;

Now, I’m lucky to make the time better.
