How do I finish this poem
When I can't even finish my essays' sentence?
How do I even start this writing
When I can't even start doing a single thing?
To lay in my bed all day long
Letting my mind wander through things, I know it was wrong
I can't seem to handle things on my own
You can force me to move but my body would say 'no'
And I do want to take action, to start things needed to be done
But my body just won't cooperate--neither my brain, it said it was 'so done'
Staring at the ceiling, I just wanted to forget all the responsibilities
For one second I wanted to disappear, to escape all my duties
One thing to say, I wasn't always like this
I was once an achiever of my own
Making a good name, was known to be excelling
Seeing how I am right now, I guess I'd say 'I'm more like pathetic'
But realized, I'm not dumb for running away from school
I wasn't a sloth for doing nothing
Maybe I just wanted to reclaim the time that I lost
To just rest for all the times I've been burnt
I never wished to stay lying in my bed forever
Nor to daydream while staring at a random thing; whatsoever
It was never my plan to even hide
To all of these things, maybe I'm just tired
