Four AM
January 19, 2022
It’s four AM
I’m supposed to be asleep
But I’m sitting at my desk
Trying not to weep
It’s four AM
I have homework I need to do
I’m filling out a paper,
Trying to figure out what is false
and what is true
It’s four AM
I’m working at my computer
I’m writing essays about beauty,
But the marks under my eyes aren’t making me cuter.
It’s four AM,
I’ve already cried about tomorrow
I’m solving math problems,
Figuring out what number to borrow.
It’s four AM,
I can’t keep my eyes open any longer
This hasn’t killed me yet,
So supposedly it can only make me stronger.

I love your writing! That last sentence was a perfect ending.
And yes, homework can beat it out of my life.
