NaPoWriMo 2013

Day 26, in explanation to day 25.

Essays:

writing for your learning

writing for your health,

writing for your teacher,

but not ever for yourself.

.

Writing for the people

who really don't want to read,

writing for the people,

but you do not have the need.

.

Writing to obey,

just to get an okay score,

writing about anything,

I'll walk right out the door.

.

Writing in the last minute,

as your eyelids start drooping shut,

Writing so many essays,

when you want to do anything but.

.

Writing in the classroom,

under watchful eye,

writing for your homework,

when it just makes you want to cry.

.

How can you finish on time,

you really don't know at all,

you just keep writing on and on,

though sleep will come to call.

.

You write and write and write,

just try to fill the page,

the writing swarms around your head,

forming a homework cage.

.

Your eyes are bloodshot and teary,

your papers scatter the floor,

You know that you can do it,

just a half a page more.

.

You wake with a start at morning,

with the keyboard pressed into your face,

you start to panic, but realize,

you have already finished the race.

.

(just saying, 7 essays in one night is not a good thing.)
