Permanent Slumber
I stay up late each night
Dashing through school tasks
Being distracted now and then
A tempting pull
To abandon the path
I always comply
Because my will is always overpowered
Like a mom overpowers her children
And I cannot focus as a barricade made of dreams
Is blocking me inside my mind
Right now
I am in the middle of exams
But I continue to plow the field of distractions
I get bad grades
My parents yell at me
I try to do better
Distractions call upon me again
And I am stuck in a vicious cycle
I wish I could just sleep
And never wake up
