Daily Routine

Get up so early it’s not even bright
Go downstairs and you have to avoid a fight
Miss breakfast because it’s already late
Try not to catch the teachers questioning bait
Sit down and listen or at least even try
When really your day dreaming that you could fly
Finally your home all sad and tired out
But you have to finish homework, what a ridiculous amount
You stumble up the stairs at 10:30 pm
And get ready to do your routine all over again
