Only day 6

Only day 6

And yet my backpack

Has left bruises in my back

Quizzes and tests

Have been sprung upon me

Only day 6

And yet friendships

Have already started

To weaken and decay

Unwanted comments

Surround me

Only day 6

My mind is already

Stretched and in pain

Fear of failing

Creeps up on me

Homework makes me

Stay up past my limit

Only day 6

My eyes are closing

As I write my poem

My fingers hurt

From gripping a pencil

Only day 6 and

I'm

       Ready

                    For

                           It

                               To

                                      Be

                                           Over
