The doorbell

Stoooooooop!
Please, do not ring again,
I just want to focus,
I don’t want to go there.
Again, and again.
Was it the third time?
I cannot stand it,
Can't travel in time.
Again, and again,
The sound which reminds,
Of you laying down,
And me being young..
Again, and again,
The sound of that bell,
So old and so loud,
Reminds me of something
I couldn’t work out..
My granny, her mom,
She’s not moving now,
She’s still laying down,
She is somewhere far.
Granny, but why?
Why did you do that?
In my ears still sound
Of my mommy’s shout:
"Mother, why you?
Why’ve you left us…"
And now I am stuck,
I am in the class,
But this stupid sound,
I know will come back…

Really good - very intense
Really good - very intense and the short lines reflect the nervous energy in the poem. Love it!
