Jay Jay Poet Free verse

Athletics, Academics, and Arts

Open your eyes
Take a breath
Get out of bed
Get yourself dressed
Go to school 
Talk to friends
Ignore the nagging feeling
Practice sports
Eat food
Don’t throw it up
Choke it down
Talk to friends
3rd period never ends
Think about life
Stop thinking about life
Walk to class
Study and stress
Volunteer 
Extra work
Don’t fall behind
Honor grad
Grab your throat
Take a breath
Eat your lunch
Don’t throw it up
Talk to friends
Stress fever
Push it down 
You don’t feel it
AP classes more and more
Don’t cry tears galore
Mama’s class
Sleep through it
You can speak
Swallow the glass
Loud noise
Small band
Your times in high demand
Get ready
Sports once more
Fail again
Again 
Again
Go home
Eat food
Don’t let yourself puke
Do homework 
Study more
Clean up
Do your chores
Take your pill
Toss and turn
Wake up
Open your eyes
