I awake / at the break of / dawn, dreading the / day before me.

I leave for / school without an / “I love you” / from my parents.


I hate school, / but currently, I / hate my parents / even more.


The author's comments:

This poem is a Sijo which is a Korean form of poetry related to haiku and tanka and comprised of three lines of 14-16 syllables each, for a total of 44-46 syllables. Each line is written in four groups of syllables that should be clearly differentiated from the other groups, yet still, flow together as a single line.
