Analysis of Exhaustion



I am so tired, I could fall asleep right now
I slept for 10 hours so I don't know how
I am so drained, I don't know how much more I can take
If things do not change I will break
Teachers give even more homework, now another hour
I hope all these hours will make my parents proud
But if I fail, I know they will scowl
So I can not make a mistake
I am so tired
All these hours, and I still get a B, how?
A simple mistake, all because I was tired, wow.
I can’t focus anymore, all of the headaches
Now I am going to FAU high, they have raised the stakes
So much work I might become a night owl
I am so tired
