I awoke at the crack of dawn,
Feeling as lively as ever,
For I’d slept like a baby,
So tranquil and relaxed,
I think about glorious life,
As I lay smiling at my thoughts.

I rapidly erased my thoughts,
As I made my way downstairs,
And greeted my family good morning,
While munching on whole wheat cereal,
Having a vivacious conversation,
My brother feeding his pet guinea pig.

I can only imagine the joy of petting a guinea pig,
Although it doesn’t sound amusing,
As I watch his socialize with his pet,
Staring at him endlessly,
In awe,
For I am just speechless.

I then get dressed in my bedroom speechless,
I brush my long hair,
Rushing to brush my teeth,
Looking at the time with shock,
Getting nervous at the thought,
I’m going to miss the bus.

I then rush out the door to no bus,
As I wait there for over ten minutes,
When it suddenly dawned on me,
The bus had already came.
I then started walking rapidly,
Feeling butterflies in my stomach,
I was going to be marked tardy.

For I am never in my life tardy,
For this cannot be real,
I’ve never been late to class,
I felt hopeless and apologetic,
For I favored my teacher,
Who would soon loathe me.

Class started a day ago for me,
As I explained my whole story,
I then went to my seat,
Ashamed and guilty,
But this wasn’t my fault.
For I used to be more fastidious,
Now I’m as dead as a moth and not nearly as alive.
