Optional
I have a headache
Headache because of you
You made my hands shake
Shake like a trembling leaf
Leaf in a tornado
Tornado of emotions
Emotions that you brought out
Out of time
Time mocks me as it ticks down
Down I go
Go and try, I dare you
You are the terror of my day
Day turns to night
Night is gone in a flash
Flash of what I thought would be stress free
Free from the shackles of my professor
Professor says no
No, you still have something
Something that used to say optional
Optional changed to you have to do it
It is worth 20% of your grade suddenly
Suddenly I don’t feel well
Well, I’m panicking now
Now would be a great time to be done
Done with this stupid assignment
Assignment that was OPTIONAL
———
(I don’t know if any of this makes sense. I just had a bad day where my professor changed something from optional to totally required and didn’t tell us. So my stress free day became a headache.)
