greyish / grey·ish (adj)
A mix between the words 'grey' and 'sluggish'; a particularly uninteresting and dull time in which you begin to contemplate your meaningless existence on earth.
Today was, as usual, greyish; just the right mixture of homework and responsibilities slapped in your face along with fatigue.

I blink slowly
Letting the fluorescent
Light wash over
My tired, aching eyes
Desperate for a change
Of scenery, a change
Of pace
A change of
Anything really
The table glares
A loud red with
Faded wavy stripes
It's shape like
An angular pear
It's shadowed by
My slowly dimming
Backpack, a somewhat
Dusty violet galaxy
Nearly packed full
Of school supplies
And necessities
The class mirrors
My dull expression
Only they are the
Dull ones, and I
Am actually much ahead
I look away from the board
Where the teacher
Is trying to teach
A phrase I might
Never use
I spot someone
I know quite well
Yet I don't let my
Eyes - thirsty for
A change in routine -
Gaze at him
For long; I
Have better things
To do, like
Completely ignoring
My surroundings
And blanking
And I feel the rush
The storm of realization
The whirlwind of new and old
My eyes blink again
Though a small spark of
Interest reappears in them
As this new self
Discovery is carefully
Analyzed in my head
And then it's gone
Disappearing to
A depth I haven't
Dared glance in
Since '07
My eyes fall
Again, in danger
Of actually drifting
Off in this cold
Classroom full of
Disgruntled teenagers
I plant my chin
On the palm of
My dry and rough
Hands, not a hint
Of sweat on them
The other arm snakes
Around my notebook
A pencil goes unnoticed
I feel like I'm in purgatory.
