Home for the Holidays

Home for the holidays

Gone for the holidays

Mentally, physically alone for the holidays

Essays, tests, stress-

Goodbye, for the holidays

I will have no shame

In sleeping for days,

And playing games

I can’t let my life go up in flames.

I need a break

I want to sit by a lake-

Drinking vanilla milkshakes

I have no interest in sitting in a study room-

Loyal to a textbook,

Inseparable from an outlet.

I may or may not read the news-

You can’t force me!

It all gives me the blues

I’m leaving now-

Gone for the holidays.

Home for the holidays.

Goodbye, for the holidays.
