Cram
Location
You just need to last until the break
cramming for your GPA's sake
You twitch and you cringe and you tweak
and crack and you break and you freak
You learn for the moment, not for retention
can't tell your parents, it's all for attention
that your mental state's weird
your energy's disappeared
You never want to do anything
only thinking of deadlines impending
there's guilt over social interaction
could be doing work, no satisfaction
then it starts to stack up, makes dozens of piles
unacceptable late work goes on for miles
you'll have to beg, please, just grade it
you start to get why so many quit
all you want is that one piece of paper
trying to think, ears leak water vapor.
