I wake up and it takes me four minutes to put on my socks
It's a seven minute walk to the bus stop and a fourteen minute bus ride
Two thousands pupils filling in and yet I feeel alone
I'm late to assembly but my teacher doesn't arrive for first period
I'm left to go study on my own
But I can't focus
I go home and go to bed because I am tired
I've been awake seven hours and I'm tired
I haven't eaten in over twenty-four hours but I'm not hungry
I take off my socks that took already too long to put on
And I go to sleep
I wake again at the smell of food but I do not eat it
I am not hungry, I am tired.
I listen to music for a few hours, mainly so that my family do not hear me cry
And then I go back to sleep
Because I am tired.
