Off I go to my bed,
Where I'll attempt to get some sleep.
I get under the covers and close my eyes,
But I begin to hear a succession of beeps.
"What's that sound," I say to myself,
It sounds so familiar, oh I know what it is!
My god damn brother is still online,
I swear, these walls are paper thin!
I grumble to the myself and get out of bed,
To tell him to turn off volume.
I finally get him to listen to me,
And then I stumble back into my room.

Oh shit! I still have homework left!
I get out of bed and turn on the light.
I quickly scribble words onto my paper,
In hopes of sleeping the rest of night.
I get back in bed and try to relax,
Oh damn, my mom left the window open.
The room has got to be twenty below,
And I can hear all those god damn crickets chirping.
I look over at the clock, it's 2:43,
Oh fuck, I have to wake up in 4 hours.
Why can't I just fall asleep,
And to top it off, I forgot to shower.

I might as well just give up now,
I just can't take it anymore, I quit.
I need to wake up in 2 hours anyway,
For now and forever, to hell with it.

You are sooooo lucky! I've always wanted to go to alternative school. My mom tried to find me one, but there aren't any that are very close to us. :-(
