Just started college

I'm gaining knowledge

Don't think I've slept since last year

 

Twixt my job and school

I feel like a fool

I'm burning my wick at both ends

 

My head's full of stuff

It feels made of fluff

Do I really need to know this?

 

My thoughts aren't that deep

I just want to sleep

But homework and life aren't that kind

 

My brain's on low power

Can't I rest for an hour?

You say I'm inert, this is why

 

I'm not giving up

Just wish life would letup

I'll just keep moving my feet
