just assume for a minute

This is what you feel like when you have only gotten

Four hours of sleep

Because of that wretched, wretched smoke detector

that seems to detect smoke

when there is no smoke

With or without batteries;

whether or not it is in the ceiling. 

This is what you feel like when

coach says,

"You're simply not tall enough"

And you go to tryouts feeling like
There is no possible way.

This is what you feel like

When your starving.

Ravenous.

And the lunch lady mumbles,

"Zero. Zero Dollars."

This is what you feel like 

when you open the door,

and its not him.

When you look at your phone,

and its a text from your mom.

When you see him and feel like

a complete loser because you can't think 

of anything to say; so you just smile.

This is what you feel like

when you wake up in the morning with

a big, obvious zit on your face.

You can't do anything about it

except for mope.

This is what you do when you think

you understand Physics

But you find out you are doing 

everything

completely, utterly, disasterously

wrong.

This could also possibly be what you feel like

when you drink 9 cups of hot chocolate

and are terrified to step on the scale.

This is what you feel like when you're

jobless,

moneyless, 

in debt, 

and without a clue.

This is what you feel like when your life is 

tumbling down the laundry chute

and nobody notices you

because your just a grungy old t-shirt

that is most likely too gross,

boring, 

and filthy

to even be donated to DI.

This is what I feel like.
