Senioritis

I was strong throughout my past three years of high school.
I worked well, study well, got good grades.
And then senioritis hits me.
But it’s not because I’m lazy.
Dear Seniors,
Sometimes instead of putting down your stupid small town
That nobody has ever heard about
In the depths of Ohio,
You should appreciate it.
Dear Seniors,
Sometimes instead of putting down your stupid small town

You should appreciate it.
My proclamation?
This is what I've got;
My motivation?
Consider it shot;
My concentration?
Lost it on the spot;
My procrastination?
Worse than you thought;
My generation?
It is kind've fitting why the teachers
don't trust us to do work on our own time.
We watch from the stand, cheer from the bleachers.
It's mid-February now, and soon I'll be waring the Ides of March.Then it's April showers,and waiting with bated breath for May flowers.
Four days until I know.
My future
My life
My success
Hopefully.
Senioritis piercing my heart
College filling my mind
I want to know so badly
Yet I'm scared to look
Summer is already over, and only now it hits me.I am a senior. This year.And I am running out of time.What have I done?All of that time that I spent inJunior, sophomore, even freshman year
You start out thinking this year will be the one,
I will actually make an effort, not leave and be done.
Two weeks in and your thoughts have changed,
You tried so hard but you never quite were
who you wanted to be, feeling so unsure.
There were times you wanted to let it all go
there were days you wanted to be best in show.
OH, EXCUSE ME
Let me dig myself a hole,
lace it with insincerity and senioritis
and fill it to the brim with misery
Allow me to proceed
to throw myself in this vacancy in the ground
There was an anticipation
the clock was crawling slower than a snail
My heart began to beat louder
All else is a blur but the goal is clear
the reality is closer
Yet the quiet game seems easier
I don’t feel like writing. Articulating your thoughts and emotions is hard. My mind is disorganized. I am overflowing with ideas, anxiety, self consciousness. My thoughts are incoherent, and I use poor grammar. I can’t really type.
