i close my eyes and count to ten
how is it already that time again?
i set my clock for 6 am
it's time for another year
  a year of tears and fights
a year of black and white
where grey isn't even an option
on a multiple choice question
so many things are the same
but if they're different who's to blame
same teachers and same kids
with the same jokes and the same wit
i close my eyes but open them
maybe i'll wake up at 6:10
