The molasses in your mouth
in your ears
your toes
funnel-fed to every
corner
leaden
rag doll drop limp
can't
move
suffocate sleepily
Thumbelina's skirts
whisper in your mind
why struggle?
give in
give in

Sometimes, I just CAN'T stay awake during class (usually math) even though I really need to pay attention. It's a constant struggle.
