Lost in thoughts

LOST IN THOUGHTS

In class, my mind begins to roam,

Away from books and thoughts of home.

My mind wanders to far-off lands, 

While my textbook rests in my idle hands.

I look out the window, at the sky so blue,

Thinking of dreams I want to pursue.

The moment I wake, I'm filled with dread,

Realizing I missed what the teacher had just said.

I promise myself to listen, to do my best,

No more daydreams, I'll pass the test.

By that moment, I understand the connection,

Paying attention is the only path to my direction.
