Math

By Jenni

Numbers jump around the page
as i try to see.
"Please stop moving," I whisper,
but they don't listen to me.
"I must be going insane," I think
as the numbers just move faster.
I look to the teacher for help,
but he says, "Call me master."
"What the hell?" I think,
"am I really that fucked up?"
I can't believe i took so much,
now i can't get up.
I look around the room,
everyone dissapears.
And raining from the sky,
are all my blackened tears.
I get up from the desk,
and crawl over to the door.
It's locked, i can't get out,
and from the sky it yet rains more.
The water all adds up,
and has nowhere to go.
I have to get out somehow,
while it's still so low.
I go to the window,
and bang on the glass.
I turn around and stumble,
the rain now smells like gas.
A match is lit above,
and it starts to rain fire.
Now the water gets deeper,
and the fire yet gets higher.
There's a ringing in my ears,
I can't figure out why.
It's so hot in here,
still the fire rains from the sky.
My skin starts to melt,
there's no more air to breathe.
Why this is happening,
i still cannot concieve.
I close my eyes,
take my last breath.
But there's air again,
why? i was so close to death.
I open my eyes
and look around amazed.
Everyone's here again,
i'm seeing them through a haze.
They get up and leave,
I feel a hand on my shoulder.
"Everything ok?" she asks
"Just that dream again" i told her.
