Long Semester by Amy Wustrin4:30 in the afternoon
and already it's darker
than a stormy mind
People are rushing to finish
running errands and Christmas shopping
And I'm rushing this whole week to end
So I can pack up my stuff
And finally go home
for the holiday break
The noise in this city
is competing with the noise in my head
and neither of them ever wins
They just get louder and louder
All the police sirens and hypothetical ponderings
Just drown out the voice telling me
to finish my photo assignments
So I'll be that much closer to home
But I'll finish them just in time
Same as I always do
And vow that next semester
My mind will be clearer
And I will stay on task
Next semester.
My reading assignments
will be done on time.
my photo assisnments
will be done on time.
I will always be prepared for class
AND I WILL LET NO BOY
ROB ME OF SLEEP!
No distractions
No delays
Just keep your eye on the prize, Sara.
The rest will handle itself.
Yeah.
We'll see about that
