“Wasting Time”
By Ashley O’Hare
Is it still a waste of time
if I am having the time of my life?
When my nose is in a book,
I get a brand new outlook;
new settings,
new plotlines-
it’s better than burning outside.
With a pen in my hand,
I could create a brand new wonderland.
If I have headphones on my ears,
I have everything that I want to hear.
My new favorite pop band
sounds better without toes full of sand.
A movie on the big screen
is complimented with popcorn and ice cream.
I am just living my life
and spending my time
the way I like.
