i am drowning
another blank face
unrecognized and vacant
passing in the hall
in the empty eyes
bleeding out sleep
stress headaches
dehydration cramps
anxiety stomachaches
keeping me awake
through invisible sores
the teachers eyes
indifferent and glazed
too tired to care
why are we so tired
cut me through and through
i should be thankful for school but the system is flawed and school makes me literally sick to my stomach
