Pill

I’m anxious for my test tomorrow Even though I tell myself in ten years I wont remember my grade I still cant sleep I take the pill Wash it down and I find a sick comfort in knowing soon…soon I will find sleep The elusive love of my life whose tempting ways creep up at all the wrong times I don’t want you during class or on a date I want you at night in my bed. I want you to come more regularly than the fire alarms in Hamlin hall I start to feel the release of my body as the pill courses through my veins filling my capillary beds I feel warm I love it I know i could roll over, but i dont care, I just lay here and it’ll all go away The pain of the day wont even become a memory The fear of tomorrow wont be a reality for a couple more hours My friends say meditate or do yoga, but it doesn’t feel as good as this Knowing that I wont remember a thing or hear an alarm Knowing I wont care to wake up It is through this I find joy and peace… It is through this I find control

I always found that if I went to class and I studied everyday that studying for the final was not too hard...A good nights rest always helped taking the test to be easier..Taking those pills to sleep the night before can backfire when one is anxious...Welcome to soup...Keep the creative pen flowing..Sara
