I woke up

A took a big gulp of cool refreshing water 

It was like a big blue lake sitting in my belly

I looked outside to see that it was cold and rainy 

I showered up and got ready for school

I came downstairs and my mom said “so good to see you”

My brother was for some reason talking about George Washington

Threw on my sandals and was out the door

I got to school and said Hola to my Spanish teacher

I did bad on my Spanish quiz and she asked why 

“got no expectations now that I’m forsaken” I responded

“I’m finna drop this class”

School and life weren’t going well

The only escape was my dreams

I felt like a deep sea angler fish alone and in the dark
