Overworked
"Stop talking."
"Try harder."
"Hard work is the road to success."
DUE TOMORROW.
Skipping meals and skipping class
and you
wonder why.
I'll tell you why
Because of the
pile of homework that's
10 feet and counting.
work
Work
WORK
We wake up earlier than you do
and go to sleep later
never caught up
always behind
Were always close to the edge
Never far from the precipice
Many of us wander through
an endless land of struggle.
Every step that I take
is a paper you make
and you hand to me
another hour I spend slocked in my room
another hour off my life
No time to be a kid
A'int no time to go outside
Never ever breathing fresh air
Never seeing the sun
Help me
Help me
Pull me
Out of the quicksand
I'm sinking, suffocating
Work work work
with no end in sight
