Stressful Expectations

I feel so much stress

When I walk through these doors

I give all I have

But they still expect more

Each hour new shit

I’m expected to learn

But for peace and quiet

Is all that I yearn

My nails, once long,

Have been bit to the quick

So many things that they want

It just makes me sick

I watch the clock, begging

For the last bell to ring

So I can go home and

Forget everything

Just to forget the assignments

That are long past due

And a burning desire

To start afresh new

Instead I’ll lay my head

Down to rest

And when I’m forced to wake up,

I’ll be just as stressed.
