I Can't Go To School Today
I can't go to school today.
I haven't thrown up and I don't have a fever.
I haven't fallen out with a friend, and I'm not trying to skip class because I'm lazy or think it's cool.
I don't just want a day off to lay around or watch tv.
I don't want to watch tv.
I don't want to read my book.
I don't want to do my homework or have a shower or cook myself lunch.
I don't know what I want to do.
I don't know what I can do.
But I just know, in a way I can't describe with words,
In a way I can't write down in poems or stories, that I can't explain what's happening in my head right now.
And I can't explain why, but
I can't go to school today
