How It Is by Maddie Macfeat
Quiet and dark That ’ s how it always is Quiet , dark , and cold Blinds are all down The only light from screens — It ’ s so easy To get sucked in .
Bed is comfy but covered In pillows , clothes , and trash Desk too far and too cold It ’ s too much work To sit at the desk To bring over a blanket And clean up the table It ’ s too much It ’ s all too much
So I sleep Sleep all day And stay up all night There ’ s no responsibilities It ’ s dark and quiet at night It ’ s dark , quiet , and lonely But that ’ s how it is
