empty vial

\"due five days ago\"

my teachers,

they expect so much of me, 

more than i could ever do

 

the dried tears planted on my face

after hours and hours 

of staying up late, 

and the constant feeling that i\'m behind work

 

my teachers, 

why do they assign so much?

 

the sleep i lack-

it\'s now measureless

 

i get back from school

only to sit back down,

grab my pencil,

and bawl my fucking eyes out

 

it\'s as if i were doing

all of this for nothing
