Well teachers, you did it.

You succeeded in breaking us.

We’ve been stressed beyond our explosion point,

Cried for no apparent reason,

And have had several mental breakdowns.

“Read a two hundred page novel in two nights,

The huge project is due in three day,

By the way, here’s a thesis paper due tomorrow.”

We need a freaking break!

Be a hero, and let us get five hours of sleep.

Yes, we want to go to college,

But we need to survive here first.

Do us a favor and ease up on the work load,

We’re trying our best,

But you could help us do better.

Give us time, give us hope, give us help.

I miss my sleep,

I miss my family,

I miss my good grades.

Let me improve,

Help me improve,

I will improve.
