Homework Hurts

School work, school work

Oh how you seem to lurk

Behind every door way

Always ruining my day

Try to get it quickly done

Procrastination – much more fun
Deadlines getting closer                                                                            
Essay, seminar and poster

Days turn into weeks

I start to get the creeps

Worry sets in quick

The clock starts to tick

Friends ask me to play

I must turn them away

It’s starting to get late

Tomorrow’s the due date

Words start to fuzz together

My head feels like a feather

Exhaustion starts to set in

I don’t think I can win

I should have started before tonight

Woulda coulda shoulda right

It’s now approaching ten o’clock

I think I need a little walk

If I stop I will not finish

Kind of like eating spinach

Midnight comes, I’m still not done

My powerpoint video will not run

Panic mixes with frustration

I stick it out with determination

3 am I think it’s complete

I’m stuck in my computer seat

Crawl to bed and sleep a bit

Dream about failing it

Wake at 6 and feel like crying

Lack of sleep is worse than dying

Final touches and spell check

Man what a pain in the neck

All ready, I leave for school

Feeling like a major fool

Done earlier this wouldn’t be

A lot less panic and stress on me

Ready to hand in shaking with fear

Turns out my teacher isn’t even here

Supply announces deadline delayed

Last night wasted, I could have played.
