Easer shavings cover her desk

Accompanied by packet reviews , class notes , and yet

Knowledge falls into her thoughts at quarter till four

She pours her third cup of coffee as she tries to ignore

The constant reminder she did this the night before.

 

"I cant take this anymore.

Is this worth stressing out over.

Im going off 2 hours of sleep, and I look like a mess

Fuck it, I'll just stay up I guess..."

 

Blissful sleep engulfs her mind

The bed to her right beckons her with delight.

She SLAMS her head on the desk

But again she wakes

Determined to pass the classes,

she volunteered to take.

 

Eyes locked and mind steady

No twitter Facebook or Instagraming.

Just craming is all she can do.

 

 

No time to relax, sit down,

or rest

By now, the small sparrows

have awaken from their nests

 

As the sun is rising with it

stress is easing from her chest

The young woman exhales a breath of relief

knowing shes done her best.
