I read my book silently
And try to concentrate on the words
But my mind is really aching
And my body feels worse

I move my neck to ease the weight,
But to no no avail, fail
My arms limp beside me
And my feet prickling like nails

I try to look at the phrases before me
But none of them look right
Then again, neither do I
My being a pitiful sight
