No time to rest,
there's a due date.
Sitting in English what's next?
I can't hand work in late,
but in Maths I have a test,
sleep deprived,
I prioritise,
and I decide,
which class I'd rather pass.
Tiring, I'm admiring,
the last minute essay,
and to my parents dismay,
I'm taking wrath in Math,
I arrive late to receive another due date.
