School bells ring, another day,
Lessons start, I sit, I stay.
Books and papers, tests to do,
But all I think about is you.
Crushes come, crushes go,
Hearts that race, feelings show.
I smile, I laugh, I play the part,
But it’s wearing down my tired heart.
Whispers, glances, passing notes,
Secret smiles and secret hopes.
I try to keep up, I try to care,
But sometimes I just want to disappear.
Friends are loud, teachers call,
I’m tired of it, I want to stall.
The noise, the stress, the tiny fights,
The crushes, the rumors, the sleepless nights.
I want a break, a little space,
To just breathe, to find my place.
To be myself, not impress at all,
I’m tired of school, I’m tired of it all.
Yet there is one who makes me smile,
Who carries me through every trial.
Through stress, through crushes, through every call,
God is the joy who holds it all.
