Out of all the shapes

Why make a clock a circle

Why make it repeat the same numbers

Why make it repeat the same hours twice

Why make it repeat the same minutes 24 times

 


It just shows

How every day is the same

How fast or slow it goes

How it is just a cycle

That will never break

 


So why make a clock a circle

Maybe just to tell us

How we will never learn

How everything will just repeat

 

 

 

That is why

The clock has to be a circle

To make us try and remember

Even though half the time we forget

So we never learn from our mistakes

So just like a clock it repeats in the same cycle

Hi my name is Kayla Biggica and I am 15 years old. I wrote this poem about how I always repeat the same mistakes over and over again.
