Sounds like Teen Boredom
Early morning rises, start the day off right.
Then off to poetry class to read some ramblings,
of emotion and memories. The white pages
Slowly putting me back to sleep. The incoherent
speech of tired teens reminding me of the importance

has already taken ahold of me. I just wanna go back to sleep.
