Shobhan Mohanty // MY APOLOGIES

This is just to say
I was unfortunately
late to class.
I tried to be
on time while
coming from math.
I probably missed
something
very important.

I walked as fast as I could,
Trying to not miss
The deafening ringing of
The late bell.

Forgive me
But the
walk was
so relaxing,
the chilly breeze
tranquil sounds
soothing trees.
