Week 3
My mouth has been dry
So long that I no longer notice
And the shaking comes and goes
But mostly it has passed
And I've taken time out from class
But now I just feel bored
Wish i could sit and write all day
Write my life away
But it won't pay the bills
And my parents just complain
Because I don't want to do anything
My head hurts from time to time
The pain can be intense
And I wish it away, to no avail
Just want to sleep at night
But I can't or I won't
I don't know which it is
Because my thoughts keep me awake
And I want to think
And write it down
Write them away so I can sleep
And as I write I know
That come the morning
There will be a knock on my bedroom door
When I am sleeping
They mean well, I know
but I just want to give up
Not on life, but on living
For a while at least
And let the world pass me by
While I think
And I write
And I sleep.
