I Write the Papers

A little something that I wrote while trying to work on an essay that was due on the day of the exam for that course.

Adele is setting fire to the rain,
I'm feverishly trying to finish my essay
The dog lies ever so calm next to my stressed body.
My mind can only take so much.

I await the alarm that tells me to catch the bus
The train station isn't far off.

In a few hours, I'll be home
Home.
Only to find myself coming back
All the way back to write
To write the papers that society deems so important
To write the papers that will tell me if I am ready to go on.

I write the papers
They need to know I'm prepared.
I write the papers
So that my future may be declared.
I write the papers
To make my family proud.

I write the papers
I write the papers
I write the papers.
