Life is a loop
every week is completely the same
Always yearning for Friday to come by
just for the weekend to turn sour and isolating
And dash by at a speed of 2.9979x108 meters per second
dreading the arrival of the coming Monday
and these commitments that I must be taped onto
occasionally I miss the week during the weekend
missing the interaction s between me and others
though my neglectful u peers can’t help but scoff
at my pleas for empathy, c care, and compassion
I want to free myself of c such a concrete schedule
I want to be at the top e and live the influencer life
I want to prove myself to those s who constantly ridiculed me
and said I will never s get anything done
and made fun of my ? arduous trek to the top
why do I crave for the weekend to come
when I am cut off from the rest of the world
and why do I crave for the week to return
when I must return and face the treacherous
academic and social battlefields again
but someday I’ll grab my scissors
and end the loop
