Silence radiates through the room
You cannot utter a single word
The only sounds that you hear
Are the kids shifting in chairs.
There is to be no sleeping
There is to be no talking
There is to be no eating
And definitely no breathing
The punished kids just sit in the chairs
Not knowing what they’re feeling
The boredom that feeds off the boredom they feel
Grows every time they are there
It seeps into the corners and into the walls
And suffocates the air.
You can’t see it but you can feel it
There is no doubt that it’s there
The school thinks that this will cure us
They think it will teach us our lesson
WELL............... they’re right.
Because I hope that I will never again have to visit
The boredom that lives in room 310
i like the repetition in the second stanza, it's very poignant. well-written!
