Making it till Mo
Open the textbook
Suck the history in
Stare at the page but not really look
Let the day begin
Write a paper about the sin to slay a mockingbird
Commas, periods, and quotation
Checking the spelling for every word
Bored into sedation
Lungs filled deep with air
Tall vowels, strong 't's, carrying through
Become with the breath well aware
Same old songs and nothing new
Stories from Sunday school
Chapters and verses for memorization
Learn all of the Bible's rules
Fighting sleep's wonderful sensations
About ready to loose it and scream
I'm ready to leave, ready to go
Hear my crashing self-esteem
But I hold it together in silence
Next in line is bio
Reminding myself of the only joy and whisper
"Just making it till Mo"
