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.
