Wake up and look around

Take your time to realize

Everything you see at first

Is only a figment

Quckly to disappear

Rub you eyes opened wide

Realize where you are

Five feet off the ground

Decisions to get out of bed

Failing miserably as I lay back down

Twenty minutes woken up

Voices in my head

"Get out of bed!"

Falling five feet to pain

Cursing as I fall.

Grab my clothes and go wash

Try to clean the sleepiness away

Whiten the teeth

Smell artificially fresh

For my long day ahead

Make it to class seconds to spare

Find a seat to sit in

Eventually the second best place than bed

Learning the same old stuff on a different day

Dreaming of a nap on the beach

Time for lunch

As I squabble out of class

Making my way to energy

Fulfilling my lost supply

After falling out of bed

Back to class I go

For another exciting lecture

Only to be surprised

I didn't get enough sleep

Conking out once more

My classes finally over

I go back to my room

Throw my stuff down

Pick up the phone, call my friends

"Let's go out! Have some fun!"

Twelve midnight comes around

Gone home to bed

Sleep again

Until the morning

For the next five foot fall.
