Dream of A High Schooler
By: Avalina Andrew
I save all of my thoughts for the middle of the night
Right before I fall asleep
What compels me to do that
I’ll never know
Maybe I’m afraid of breaking down during the day
Maybe it’s because my mind is bored
Maybe it’s both of those reasons
Maybe it’s neither
But if I’m being honest
It’s because I know I’ll forget in the morning
Right before I fall asleep
What compels me to do that
I’ll never know
Maybe I’m afraid of breaking down during the day
Maybe it’s because my mind is bored
Maybe it’s both of those reasons
Maybe it’s neither
But if I’m being honest
It’s because I know I’ll forget in the morning
