As I sit there watching the big hand on the clock move ever so slowly

Tears fill my eyes during the last period of the day. 

Thinking about everything I have to do when I get home. Projects, homework, deadlines, sports.

They all leave me in the same place when I’m done Crying in my room, wanting a break, exhausted but unable to sleep for too long because I have to be up the following day and do it again. 

All the work piling up makes my never-ending migraine worse

I’m screaming on the inside but on the outside, my pencil is on the paper, writing notes and staying quiet.

Sitting there, raising my hand if I want to talk, walking with everyone else to my next class after the loud bell tells me that one hour is over and I'm onto the next.

I have little motivation and energy to do anything, but I get it done so I don't seem lazy. I get it done so I get good grades to go to college, which ends up being the same thing. 

Projects, homework, sports, and more deadlines.

I need a break but when do I have the time to get one?
