SleeplessA Poem by MonnersAnother night, no sleep at all Contemplating skipping classes Only to remember that Reviews are handed back tomorrow But how much do I value these? If only to stay awake another 24 hours. Time management was never a strong suit. Making coffee at 4am. And snow angels by myself. How much more can I put my body through? Basketball game injuries, Bungee cord mishaps leaving deformed knuckles Under-eye wrinkles Headaches and such Is it worth it? These classes are ruining my life 80 page papers on overfishing in the North Atlantic, 20 page reading reviews about forestry management, 30 page policies on toxic substance control by the executive branch, 400 page books about French politics, Applications for schools in Florida and Colorado, And summers in D.C. Fall overseas Too many aspirations? Too much after school involvement? Maybe. But it kind of makes me feel alive. I'd rather feel pain than nothing at all I guess the saying goes. © 2008 Monners |
