‘’my legs have turned to mush
my brain feels like slop
and my eyes have melted
i clock out of my shift
i go home
i shower
i study for my test tomorrow
i go to bed
i wake up
i brush my teeth
i put on clothes
i go to school
i clock in for my shift
i clock out of my shift
i go home . . .
this tiring cycle is endless
and the adults in my life
expect nothing less of me
you must get a good grade and study
but you must also get 8 hours of sleep
you must take care of yourself
but you must work to keep your apartment
a good grade is a good day,
anything less counts you as
a failure and as a mistake
do not fail
but do not exceed.’’
