fourteen seconds to failure.

five.

when we are young, our day spent in school
we believe a day, a week, spent in bed would be cool
skipping classes and binge watching shows
play a game or maybe just sleep 'til two
that would be an ideal time, right?

you'd be wrong, but don't worry, i once thought so too
when i was so young, a little bit of a fool
as i grew up and my health grew weary
i was forced to stay home, my body too weak
you can only stand so many episodes
before your days in bed grow duller and duller

i missed learning, and working my brain
i was the top of my class, now i just lie here in pain
the days are long, and no longer fun
i wish my time sick would expire, be done

everyone thinks it's easy
that it's so great to spend your days home
but i don't have any freedom
my own body trapping me inside its gripping dome

so next time you think
that staying home would be the best
i'll let you borrow my health, and see how it goes
i know you wouldn't pass the test
