Only day 6

Only day 6

And yet my backpack

Has left bruises in my back

Quizzes and tests

Have been sprung upon me

Only day 6

And yet friendships

Have already started

To weaken and decay

Unwanted comments

Surround me

Only day 6

My mind is already

Stretched and in pain

Fear of failing

Creeps up on me

Homework makes me

Stay up past my limit

Only day 6

My eyes are closing

As I write my poem

My fingers hurt

From gripping a pencil

Only day 6 and

I'm

       Ready

                    For

                           It

                               To

                                      Be

                                           Over

  • Silver arms

    Silver arms

    Reaching up

    Delicate

    And yet bearing

    Weight

    A big middle

    Rough

    Covered in patterned skin

    Big enough

    That my arms don't

    Wrap around

    The course outside

  • The moon

    Bathing me in a ghoulish glow

    Brightening the dark

    Staring at me

    Barely disturbed

    All the way up there

    Floating among

    The stars

    Simply being

    Bathing me in a ghoulish glow

    I love the moon
