Burnout



Exhausted, but can never fall asleep
No creativity and grades decline
Abode amess, I really need to sweep
Like i’m a witness to all of this swine

Feel like it affects everything I do
Sprawled on the bed as my red clock tick, tocks
Feels like i’m falling apart, have any glue?
Would rather spend hours watching TikToks

Same exact sone played over on repeat
Dreaming about some time in the future
Stomach hurts, have I forgotten to eat?
Maybe someday I’ll seal it with suture

Hoping I can find something to return
Myself back to the me they know, I yearn

About this poem

I really should delete TikTok.
