Nearing Finals

I should be writing another paper
I should have turned this in on time
I need to study for a test
I need register for class

My head is throbbing in my skull
My eyes drooping, after last night
My heart is aching for stimulation
My mind is drained, they’ve sucked me dry

Finals are just around the corner
Make up test are on the rise
Everyone is sick these days
And we need to make up lab reports

The pulsing hum of education
Institutionalizing my brain
And I can find no resolution
Standardize us all the same
