Time Travel
By: Aaron Lopez

As I walk out of class, 
I run to the lunch tables. 
I watch as other classes go as well. 
"I am ready to eat!" I always say. 
The pleasure of hearing kids laugh 
and the enjoyment of 
talking to my friends. 
I adore those moments. 
If I had just warned everyone 
on what is to come! 
Too bad I can not time travel. 
I miss the past. 
I miss everything––
––every time I would play 
with my friends. 
But life betrayed me in my back. 
I want what used to be. 
I believe that things 
will all get better.
