Laziness

In my head I get up and go,
I walk to school, where my mind has grown
I soar and fly and play and roam
When I return to reality, I'm at home

My body sinks into my sheets
I'm sweating; feel my body heat
Still, I stay snugged in my sheets
My legs won't move and neither will feet

I can't stand, my body is stuck
I won't move away I have no such luck
I know, I know it does really suck,
that I don't ever wanna get up

Why can't I slip from each task
I can't continue this 'perfect' mask
Is being productive to much to ask?
Endless photos of friends having a blast
All making memories that will last

I should be their, but I only stare,
At my wall, thinking 'life in unfair''
While I soak my pillow with my despair
I ask myself why do I even care

Joy

Insides, warmth of a oven
A soft cookie of abundance
Let me sink in this moment
Taste each delight
I'm buzzing with joy
Like a firefly at night
My smile grows wider
My shoulder sit higher
I carry myself faster,
Euphoria, my addictive substance
Happy and hip is the day
Don't let me lose you and your heartily ways

School

Legs shuffle to classrooms
Doors shut as the bell swoons
I'm a bit closer to the finish today
Then this torture can do away

Kids beam and joke and flaunt
Other snare and tease and taunt
We all just want to go home
So please, do that for me

By the last period my energy subdued
'Listen up kids' the teacher coos
Everyone needs to be in pairs of twos

What I need is home and rest and sleep
So I can play and laugh and geep
I'm not sure how I can keep,
Keep repeating this cycle each week
