Day off

So many things

And so little time

 

Things keep piling up

Higher and higher

One after the other

 

The year flew past

Way too fast

Now I'm grabbing at everything

To maybe slow it down

But no

 

Activities back to back

Literally

Day to day

*There went one week of supposed

Rest

There went one week of supposed

Preparation*

 

With the recaping and recalling

Just noticing:

The modules still aren't

Done

Adding adding adding on

 

Help is leaving

In one day

Protection is leaving

For two weeks

Still can't get the questions done

I have yet to clear

This pile

 

Hello test

Howdy music

Four days more

And the race begins

Through and through

My time is short

Yet I have to compete

 

Then comes

The End

It's too quick.

 

Everything's

Too quick

 

Even after

The End

More is still

To come

One after the other

 

I need more

Time

And then here I am

Scrabbling in the dark

Wanting to melt

And disappear

 

And all I want

Is a day

Off

To do absolutely

Nothing

Without having to

Worry about

Anything

At all

 

Just one day

Though that'd probably be the day I die.
