Life's ticking away

Life's ticking away

A Poem by The Wolfman
"

A revision of a poem I did ealier and I think it is appropriate formy first post as a new member of this site. I was sitting in english class being bored an this was born.

"
I see the world in black and white...
I see the world in day and night...
I watch the past days shatter like glass...
As I sit here wasting my life in this class...
My imagination wanders thinking about what could be...
Traveling to different worlds I have yet to see...
My mind lingers while the teacher thinks she's being heard...
The white noise coming from blank faces quickly becomes blur...
The bell rings waking me from my sleepless sleep...
Bringing me back to a reality that steals my soul to reap...
I dream of a future beyond these four walls...
A future away from the ghosts who roam these halls...
I fight thru the crowd trying to get to the door...
And wonder what meaningless dreams the next class has in store...
Between the lines of black and white, day and night is a lost line of gray...
And until I find it then today was just another wasted day.

The poem's a bit confusing :S
But is there supposed to be a nostalgic kind of tone of voice?
And also, the ellipsis after each of the lines seem redundant; it's an unnecessary repetition, and I think it may be taking away from the poem.
But it's good! Keep writing, and I hope you take this on board, and know that it's meant in a constructive way, not negative :)
