Rise and Grind

"Rise and Shine"?

Try 'rise and grind.'

Like the pain in my bones

That harmonizes with my moans.

 

"Up and at 'em."

Why? And who is them?

The sun isn't even up

to share my suffering cup. 

 

"You're gonna be late!"

I'll accept that fate.

Rush this senior 

And I'll get much meaner.

 

"Don't forget your lunch!"

Gee, thanks a bunch.

The thought of choking that down

Makes my entire body frown.

 

"Bye, I love you!"

Bye, love you too.

But I sure don't love school

Or it's prodding at my cool.
