The Truth is Painful
i am tired...
sleep is inconceivable.
my back is drenched in pain.
i got 3 hours of sleep.
i could have gotten 5, but
i was sick.
at 12:30, i went to bed.
for 1 1/2 hours, i attempted sleep.
at 3:00, i woke up.
my throat was dry + lips were cracked.
when i tried to lick my lip,
the saliva was thick + uncomforting
the blood was dry + crackling
so i drank for 1/2 hour.
at 3:30, i went to bed.
for 1 1/2 hours, i attempted sleep.
at 7:00, i woke up.
now i am in school.
for 11 years, i have come to school.
every day.
except vacations.
and weekends.
i have learned 2 years worth of knowledge.
9 years of my life have been wasted.
