Again and again

Again and again

I wake up. Alarm buzzing.

Phone booming. Mom screaming my name

from the kitchen like I'm already late.

My eyes barely open but my mind is already on

the verge of collapsing. Notifications flashing,

homework I forgot, tests I didn't study enough

for. Five more minutes turns into instant panic.

Go home, but it doesn't stop there.

Homework waiting. Assignments due at

midnight. I lie in bed staring at the ceiling,

knowing tomorrow it all starts again.
