Cold, it's so cold.
In this room, the next.
Why is it so cold?

I want to go home.
In my warm bed,
Wrapped up in my blanket.
Yet I can't.
Why is this school so cold?

I try to talk to friend.
The don't care,
Ignore my words. Dang.
Why are friends so cold?

I want to sleep.
But I know I can't.
Demanding parents,
Expecting parents.
Why are parents so cold?

Maybe it's just me.
Maybe I'm the one who's cold.
Maybe I'm just done with everything.

I'm done.
Trying to go home,
Friends, parents.
I'm done with school, sleep.
I'm done with the cold.
