Focus

by H. Elizabeth   Nov 14, 2013


Focus?
What is focus?
What is this nonsense?
Surely I cannot focus
When I am absolutely

Exhausted.

Sleep more, they say.
I do not have time for sleep.
I have
Homework
Band
Piano
Tests
College class
Studying
Football games
And
Church.
How does sleep fit into a schedule like that?
It doesn't.
My handwriting has gone to crap,
And I don't have time for makeup.
I feel like a zombie.
One day all of it will be too much.
All of my stuff
Is going to pile up on each other.
All of the
Honors/homework//band/studying/piano/tests/work/bullying/
hatred/stress/lack of sleep/early mornings
Are going to be
WayTooMuch!
And I'm going to have too press the
Stop button on my life's remote and yell

Enough!

Then maybe I'll sleep.
Oh yes I definitely will.
I will pause my life
And catch up on sleep.
I'll go into hibernation.
And when I wake up,
Maybe I'll be able to

Focus.

    Its nice to see you post something new Hannah, and you're still writing. This is really a nice poem from you, though its more on the sad side of things, its still something nice to read. Keep it up.
