End of the Year
there was a lot of death
and unrest,
both outside of school
and inside my head.
while legends died, almost
so did I,
hit by the last nine midterms
followed by 4 damned finals.
s-t-r-e-s-s was e-v-e-r-y-w-h-e-r-e.
the news said,
"the future will Trump your dreams"
what dreams? it's been days since I slept on my bed.
monthly bills are coming!
don't forget,
you have a meeting tomorrow!
what time? oh man, I can't!
i got this final at four,
but the world,
it's ending as science knows it!
why don't you care more?
i'm trying to care! about this!
about that!
but i have no time even for myself!
i need to pass this class!
christmas is coming and all my friends
have gone home.
i have one more essay to turn in
before i collapse into my own soul.
"what gift do you want, kat?" they asked.
i said, "rest."
finally, a month off.
i don't have to use my head.
until the next year, everyone. i wish you
health and sleep.
thank god 2016 is over. now let's save our sanity
and do better in 2017.
