she's a student
as the air brushed through her neck,
shivers ran down her spine
her table was a wreck
oil-smudged glasses entwine—
with the pillar of her stuffy nose
while tapping the keys on her computer
keeping herself composed.
all she wanted was to be an achiever.
but it seems impossible
for she was already unstable,
pouring her heart out to the ephemeral
until wanting to be at her funeral
she was dehydrated
as this was what she anticipated
for the rain from her eyes created a flood
in her tired face that revealed a stormy cloud
day by day, she witnesses calamity
within herself quietly
wishing to end it all
because all she wanted was to fall—
asleep.
now the lump on her throat is deep.
