Earplugs (Why Midterms Suck)

i really miss hearing the birds singing,

and now one big hazard is parking lots.

i should be flying, a bird that's winging,

but i'm just sitting here, connecting dots.

Everything i watch has to be silent

and listening to music is right out;

it's not enough for me to be violent,

but it does make me want to sadly shout.

This is a project i won't abandon;

i'll do what i must until it's over,

although it certainly is a sad one.

i need the luck of a four-leaf clover

because, once all is really done and said,

it will have really messed with my poor head.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

"Deaf for a Day" is the name of everyone's Midterm project in one class, and it involves wearing earplugs all day and ignoring sounds we can still hear.  My ears hurt at first, then tickle, then i get used to these wretched things.
