Sunshine with rain drops. 

Smiles and laughter.

Green grass, birds chirping. 

The week has begun. 

Time to catch up 

On the things I’ve ignored 

Prob-ly should study 

Or maybe explore 

The outside is warm

I want to go run 

Away from my troubles 

Into the bright sun

I go outside 

I change my mind

It’s hot as heck

I want to whine

I huff and puff

And turn around

Go back inside 

And scream aloud 

Time for work

Time for school

Time for something

That is real

No more phone 

No more shows

I gotta study 

To get my degree

I hunker down 

Books in tow 

Laptop chargin’

Let’s a go!

I open up

My first assignment 

I hear the birds

Call for friends 

My rebel eyes

Flutter up and down

My mind wanders

To no end

I ignore the tempting

World around me

And Settle down

Into this place 

I read through

What’s been assigned me

And dutifully check

Until it’s all done

I look back up 

It’s dark around me

No birds to hear 

Just eerie silence 

The day is gone

But I’ve done my school

I missed the sun 

But I did my work

Another Tuesday 

Here and gone 

Next week maybe

I’ll try again

To see the sun
