You sit around.

You play your games.

You stir up drama.

You laugh with friends.

While I'm right by you,

Taking all the papers,

Blank,

With jobs I have to do.

I do your work,

I hand it back,

And you hand it in.

I'm tired and exhausted,

And then you say,

"Why can't you work today?!"

I want to sleep,

I want to watch a movie.

For goodness sake,

I want to lay in bed and read!

But no, I can't.

I have to stay up,

Doing work that you didn't do

Because we share the result.

You make me want to fall,

Give up.

Each morning,

I want to lay in bed,

And just do nothing.

My head is aching,

My skull's too small for me.

My back is hurting more

When I stand straight.

The needles around my heart,

Poke me more and more

Until I fall.

And I can't breathe!

It hurts, and aches to live.

I understand that you have a life,

You have your problems.

So here's the surprising thing:

SO DO I!

Baboom!

Surprise!

It's new I know.

I have a life.

I have my dreams,

My fears,

My hopes and wishes.

But you don't seem to care.

I'm so tired,

That I'm the one that cares.

If only I could tell you.

If only you knew.
