The pit of your stomach
will soon clench
into a metal weight ball,
dragging you
into the dark abyss that is
your future.

Though the selfishness of summer
is waiting to be set upon you,
the responsibilities
are stapled along
with the sunshine.

Crunch time is almost here,
so you better be ready for it.
If you aren't paying attention,
you will be undeniably ******.
