My eyes, heavy with the weight of a thousand books.

My head, empty with only sounds of an echoing hallway.

Is this what I was made to do?

Sit and stare at a screen and accomplish tasks given by a higher entity that only I can wish to be one day?

I rub my eyes hoping to activate a lever in my mind saying “wake up!”

Only to close my eyes for more than a second, I end up. Lost.

In a familiar; yet unfamiliar world. 

Weird and unsettling but calming.

Only to be shaken awake by the sound of an alarm;

Which rings in a pattern all too familiar.

Class starts soon, yet I am already late.

My body; still paralyzed.

My mind; still blank.

The time; passed too quickly.

The day started too fast. 

Oh how I wish my sleep lasted

as  long as the earth to the moon.

My eyes hold all the weight to them.

You can tell, right?

My shoulders slump; as if they are powering down for the night.

I guess that this time, it can slide.
