The alarm goes off
I slam my hand against it
Trying to silence its screech
Don't want to wake up
And face another day
I hear brother slamming his door, running down the stairs
Excited for another day in school
This topic we don't see eye to eye on
He wants to be a scientist
I just want to past the test
Finally got out of bed, took a shower
I could stay in there for another hour
Went downstairs
Mother started nagging
I ignore the words as they come past her lips
Grab a piece of toast
Don't even say goodbye as I walk out the door
I walk in the freezing cold
Realizing that I forgot my essay at home
Thinking to myself to try again tomorrow
Get to school
Go to gym class
Watch all the jocks yell and scream at their team
And I thought winning wasn't everything?
Get dressed again, drifting to the next class
Listen to the teacher lecture
Must have blocked him out
I can only hear myself talking inside my head
Move onto the next
What a drag
Might as well put shackles on me and give me a cell
Because I feel like I'm in Hell.

Thank you for the comment, yeah this is how i feel most days since I've begun high school but I thought why not put it down on paper, its funny in a darker way and I kinda like it for that but thank you again
You conveyed how I felt most days my junior and senior year in high school. The words ran down the page like a yummy smoothie of angst and heartache. Great work ~ Yvy
