Rough

My head's a little empty

I have a fever running high

I was down in the lunchroom a while ago

And I get sleepy when I look at the sky.



I have my bag sitting right in front of me

Eraser dust all around

As I sit down at this table

Trying to come up with something profound.



My nose is extremely stuffy.

I've used countless tissues today

I've been reading Emily Dickinson

A new author I've discovered along the way.



I need to use the bathroom

But I don't want to leave

Someone might end up taking my spot

Maybe a guy by the name of Steve.



I was right- I left for a second.

Some girl had taken my spot

But that's alright. I will not fight

Coz I had left the spot.



I'll probably go call Trina now

I haven't been feeling too well.

I'm a sickly child with a contagious disease.

I'm under the drowsy spell.
