“Gotta get it done”

Shaking hands
Breath catching in already empty lungs
Fist-fulls of big sweaters as you grab at your chest
Hot tears of anger and frustration rushing down your face that make your vision blurry

“Gotta get it done”

Over-worked
Over-tired

“Gotta get it done”

Fingers digging into your eyes as you struggle to stay awake
Cups of half finished coffee
Aching neck and back from being bent over the books

“Gotta get it done”

Alarms buzzing and blaring in the ears of an over-worker American Teenager
Fingers digging into your eyes as you struggle to wake up
Blinking as you feel the tears coming
You didn’t finish…
“You didn’t get it done”
