Old paper stuffed inside folders

A couple near empty notebooks

My lunchbox, a sticker book

And my two Chromebooks- one personal, one school


Organized 

Yet thrown together

Clean 

Yet messy


In a smaller pocket

Sit my earbuds

Possibly my lifeline

Possibly my favorite thing inside


Any chance I can

I get them out

And get lost in my music

To distract from the stress


Organized

Yet thrown together

Clean

Yet messy


Such is life for me

Inside my backpack
