My sad school life has left me without sleep

I study alone at night in my room

Sometimes in the dark i silently weep

My room feels like a crypt....or a tomb.

The feeling of sadness devours my life

I toil and work, but why do I try?

Tension, depression, there's way to much strife

All of this homework makes me want to cry.

Every once in a while I get scared

Late at night doing my work as I think

I often wish that I could just be spared

And sometimes I even forget to blink.

By the end of the year it seems unfair

I'm destined always to fight this despair.
