my aunt died this morning
but i found out that the world keeps turning
people keep moving
and life keeps going
i burnt my tongue on a cookie this morning
i think i did it on purpose
maybe to spark myself awake
hoping this was all a dream
but it wasn't
i went to school
yet headaches surrounded
closing in on all sides
my aunt just died
and my friend is complaining to me
about her crush not looking at her
my aunt just died
and a boy kicked over my binder
my aunt just died
and my band teacher is lecturing me
about my posture
my aunt just died
and i can't understand my math homework
my aunt just died
and this girl threw a pencil at my head
i go home
it's quiet
i have things to do
but nothing will get done
because i burnt my tongue
i can't understand my math homework
and my aunt is dead
