With two left feet it tries
To dance in time with the first
And second hand.
But it soon falls out of rhythm
As the steady tick-tock silences any verse of freedom
It tries to sing

The author's comments:
I value my free time because it enables me to develop myself outside of the academic environment. Unfortunately i feel that our society does not allow us enough free time to focus on ourselves out of our work or school environment. I am trying to illustrate with this pice how my free time is always silenced by deadlines and obligations that i can not out run.
