Falling

Up All Night

I stay up all night,

To make sure it looks right.

The bags, mean nothing

But they show,

that to me, you are something.

_____________________________________________________________________________________

I stay up all night,

sometimes 'til light.

Because I care.

Even if I end up with a blank stare.

____________________________________________________________________________________

I stay up all night,

It's the sleep fight.

Not giving in,

Trowing papers in the bin...

But you say we don't care?

______________________________________________________________________________________

Most the writers have tierd eyes.

. From staying up all night.

Sore necks, backs, and fingertips.

From staying in the same position, and typing all night.

But we don't care?!

That just isn't right.

Because I lost track,

Exactly how many damn times these words fell from my lips.

Dad I mention the sore back?!

________________________________________________________________________________________

So don't tell me,

that I'm not trying.

Just leave me be!

Don't ask me why I'm crying.

Cause this is bullshit,

and if you say

I have to do it again,you're asking to be hit.

____________________________________________________________________________________

So dear teachers,

don't try to be  preachers.

And stop givin us so much type work.

It's driving me berserk!
