The pile builds, accretion of assignments a while until Relaxing, busy work not terribly taxing but my time All consumed, brief pause and then resume the battle Of the usual, ramble babble prattle of the professor then I lose A full night of sleep, toxins in each anxious beat Of stressed heart, DNA schematics down for art And not a rigid scheme, blackboard is bleeding on me And now the groups are formed, locusts of ambition in a swarm I am devoured, avoiding conflict like a coward I see his eyes, abandoned on an island he dies In the horizon, my face of kindness becomes wizened Faint and feeble, I recognize my capacity for evil To continue, make no apology for sins due no effort made To right things, expect a well deserved strike of lightning Very frightening, conscience panicking muscles tightening No chance at being friends, dread the day we meet again

The pile builds, accretion of assignments a while until Relaxing, busy work not terribly taxing but my time All consumed, brief pause and then resume the battle Of the usual, ramble babble prattle of the professor then I lose A full night of sleep, toxins in each anxious beat Of stressed heart, DNA schematics down for art And not a rigid scheme, blackboard is bleeding on me And now the groups are formed, locusts of ambition in a swarm I am devoured, avoiding conflict like a coward I see his eyes, abandoned on an island he dies In the horizon, my face of kindness becomes wizened Faint and feeble, I recognize my capacity for evil To continue, make no apology for sins due no effort made To right things, expect a well deserved strike of lightning Very frightening, conscience panicking muscles tightening No chance at being friends, dread the day we meet again
