I have reached the
Point
In the semester
Where
I really don't care
Anymore
But my need to be
Liked
And future career
Demand
That I keep moving
Forward
Finals are coming up and I don't wanna do it

I try
I'm busy I'm sorry
You are ahead of me yet you seem to have nothing to do
I try to be there
Work, Sadness, Anger
I told you
I'm busy
You text
Again
Again
and again
Complain about me
I've told you I'm busy
I never complain when you are not there
I respect you
Your work, your anger, your sadness
Why can't you do the same?
It makes me feel
Sadness and Anger
I don't know what to do
I've told you I'm busy
You ask if I'm sure I want to stay
I have it
Time
Hapiness
Yet you tell me to go work
Why?
Make the choice
It makes me feel
Sadness
Anger
I've told you
I'm busy
Respect

I woke up thinking it was a school day
But remembering it wasn't wasn't fun either
The days I am not in school I work and do the work that was meant for home
Man-made clouds do not part
and I will never see the sun
I woke up on Saturday thinking it was Friday, and I was surprised at my lack of excitement because I still had work. I work everyday. School, work, or school followed me home: homework.

I have five papers to write
Three projects to do
Stay up all night
Just to barely get through

Head to the library
For another three hours
Every moment scary
These assignments horrors

On my way, I stop
A tree orange and red
I decide to drop
And lay down my head

Life's meant to be fun
Not a bunch of facts
Or homework to get done
So it's time to relax

motivation? I have none
yet so much has to be done
I've got my whole life ahead of me
just have to surpass this one moment to be free
free, at least until another day
when I have lots more work and no play

Very late at night
The student does work
The pale moon shines bright
Yum! Yum! Cafe Rio-pork

It is the last moment
School is almost done
But she just wants to chuck it
In the garbage bin

The work is so grueling
It is torture- at least a majority
She wants to go swimming
But homework is a forced priority

why do we still do it
when we know nothing good comes out of it?

you should do it now
but i don't want toooooooo
get it over with
i'll do it laterrrrrrrrr
don't push it back another hour, another day
i'll find time to do ittttttttt

and eventually, we all just become addicted to it
and those who can quit by themselves,
are the ones who are truly talented.

Kinda ironic
I write poems and find myself
writing about how much I hate English.
I don't want to read
Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde again
or analyse a play!

No matter how interesting.
The themes are the the themes
and the characters the story tellers
but to me it's just words
No link in my head.
Every sentence is read.
Then the next,
makes no sense.
It all seems out of context
but no one realises
I don't know what the ****
the teacher goes on and on about,
it goes over my head.
I can't explain my ideas
because I can't make them myself
and I can't understand where anyone else's are from.
So I lead my self on a tangent,
that could go on and on repeating itself
that could go on and on repeating itself
that could go on and on repeating itself
but will never come back to the beginning.
Writing aimlessly
but no one seems to see;
it's all nonsense to me.
Kinda ironic.
As weird as it sounds English is my worst subject at school.

Here's some homework howlers,
By hilarious pupil terrors,
"An octopus has eight testicles."
Did I read that with my spectacles?
"Mozart sailed to Vietnam." For how long?
Why is there a clavichord in the Mekong?
"Rome is now in Africa." Do tell,
Didn't you learn map-reading too well?
"Mummy and Daddy's fave place is bed."
Do your parents really want this read?
Are these mud-coloured glasses, or what?
How did I survive teaching this lot?
It's hard to take them too serious,
Homework howlers, hilarious!
