Drop-Out Dream

I've done it again, I've overslept I've failed to finish my homework I've missed so many classes that I can't recall which room that I am supposed to go to and maybe I'm on the wrong floor and oh god the wrong building? and besides they all look the same and besides the last time I found it all the seats were taken... The semester is almost over My attendance is still required or there will be some sort of penalty... (Tuition is so expensive, son Why waste it, why throw it away? Now your brothers and sister...) The hall is empty and endless now I'm running and sweating now The whole class is waiting now The teacher is waiting now... I've already flunked his course but still have to take his exam... The bell screams and the doors slam shut Once again they have started without me Once again I'll be marked absent when they call the roll...

Can we say anxiety, Much? Yep, well written. My epilepsy made me forget where and when I had to go... In High School my anxieties were a royal pain for sure... I walked every where with all my books cause I couldn't remember my locker location... and on top of it all was my schedule taped where I never stopped seeing it... Everyone thought I was a brain tho I was actually brainless... I did get good grades, surprisingly.

I can truly understand this dream... Spent 12 1/2 years in College due to my epilepsy. My recurring dream was I got lost and couldn't find where I had to go... simply knew I had to be there... The reality was I took a test became confused, walked out in the middle of the test, and then didn't know where I was... or who I was...
