by Jillian Clark.

i just want to study
and drink a capri-sun
and feel like a three year old
and eat noodles
and listen to music that makes me tired
and fall asleep sitting under my covers
with my face in my notebook
i want to read everything on the internet
and still have time to study
actually i want to make a list of what my priorites should be
and then rearrange them

i will read everything
and i will fail my tests
and i will drink another capri sun

this was not actually a poem
this is actually the truth
straight from me to you
what i am feeling right now

i will do this more often
