A Day in School

I wake in the morning
to sound of my alarm clock ringing.
I sigh in despair
knowing what the day will bring.

I go to school,
thinking “What can happen today?”
And once I get there,
nothing goes okay.

I left my homework
back in my room.
My teacher takes out a red marker
to show my obvious doom.

In her notebook,
next to my name..
I see a dark red F
the rest will be the same.

Next period
is as worse the last.
There was actually a pop quiz
it was more like a blast.

The rest of the day
just stays really boring.
While I am sleeping,
my head is soaring.

When the day is over
I am feeling like rain.
Because I know that tomorrow
I got to start it all over again.
