1)Get strawberry flavored
pop tarts,
Tall glass of milk,
2)Put textbook filled,
backpack down,
books such as
notebooks,
and English books.
Sit on the edge of my
queen sized bed.

3)Ring-ring
Incoming text message,
brightens my phone
Who could that be?
My overly dramatic,
Boyfriend.
We argue,
About,
the pettiest things.
Such as
Not calling him back,
before I laid down,
for bed last night.
In that small amount of time,
We exchange not-so-good,
Out-of-the-dictionary words.

4)Shed tears
Thinking to myself,
Why am I crying?
5)He apologizes,
Man,
He always make it seems like
he really cares.
But,
My crumbling heart,
only believes what it wants.
Even though,
I don’t forgive him,
Completely,
I still manage to say,
“everything’s fine”.

6)Flick through,
thousands of channels.
Time Warner Cable,
Can be so slow at times,
7)Turns to The Bad Girls Club

8)Grab small bright blue posted note,
Jots down things I need
to get accomplished for today.

10)Wake up dad,
It’s always so hard to get this,
Big-hardworking man,
up for work.
He sleeps so heavily.

11) Takes a long peach scented shower.
I had a long day,
So I believe I deserve this.

12) Check my erupting
Facebook account.
Definitely,
cannot forget
Those daily messages,
The obnoxious friends
In Milwaukee sends me.

13) My boyfriend seems to find another way
to argue with me
before the night is over.

Through all the pain
and stress
I’ve been through,
All the tears
I’ve drowned myself in,
All the hardships,
And struggles,
I should manage to say

“everything’s NOT fine”
