My eyes burn,
I lie awake, rereading the text.
Trying to answer the questions,
trying to memorize the statements.
I stare, I cry, I shake it off, I repeat.
This will help me someday?
Maybe, but for now,
It's keeping my mind off of life.
Having a lot of homework;
a great excuse not to talk to people.
To be secluded in your room all day,
the only light is your computer screen,
as you type away trying to finish.
Every once and awhile,
Life comes to ***** me over.
Homework is there to save me from it.
But, you know what?
I'm learning to punch life back in the face,
and that's all that matters.
To all y'all out there,
Stay Strong.
You can get through this.
