BALLAD Poem, by Triston Smith

Waking up every morning on repeat
At the same time everyday my many alarms ring
I can never expect what the day will bring
Tests, quizzes, assignments on assignments
The same day over and over again
I never want to get out of bed
I can never seem to get ahead
Telling myself the night before I would wake up early
Always running behind to get to school on time
Struggling to focus on completing my work
Teachers giving test every week
Making time to study and still failing
More missing assignments then complete assignments
Distractions are everywhere
I plan on doing my work then something comes up
Why can’t i just complete my work
I tell myself I should take things more serious
Stressed out and tired by the end of each day
Hoping just to make it to the end of may
