this messy room is an echo of home
a reminder of blessings
and a precursor to being without
settle down, book to read
stain my mind with pens that bleed
bed's unmade, how to eat
how much more i need to sleep
next semester, where i'll be
give as love to those in need
cant find rhythm, lost my beat
paper due, cant get a lead
getting sloppy, friend in need
i cant believe i lost that sheet
messed up again, again i plead,
forgive my sins, dumb wretched me
forget the time, forget im freed
emotions well, soon i cant see
4 am, my mind cant treat
all the things attention needs
hard to breathe, hard to sleep
hard to do near anything.
cant i be done
cant i just leave
take me home
to rest and peace?
