The Life of a Student

For some reason I had the crazy urge to compose this poem earlier, and since I finished this in one evening, it may not be very good. Anyway, here it is! :)

Note: This poem is not a depiction of my school life. I merely wrote this for fun.

Literary Genre: Poetry

Six o'clock, I wake up,

Get dressed, take my stuff,

Grab a toast and have a cup;

Off to school, sure enough.

Seven thirty, the bell rings,

Teachers explain on and on.

Lunch bell, packing things,

And I wonder, where's time gone?

Noon, it's lunchtime,

The cafeteria has a crowd;

Yet I find it somewhat sublime,

As I eat in the air of the loud.

Soon after, back to class,

Homework is assigned;

As usual, in large quantities,

And come the usual whine.

Four PM, class dismissed,

Students all go home;

I trod my way through the mist

Of monotony as I roam.

Extra classes till eight

To prepare for the SAT.

I find it's a while since I ate

But aware that it'll set me free.

Revising notes, completing homework,

Everything for college acceptance.

Until 11 PM I sit and work

And study with steadied patience.

Everyday, always the same thing.

I realize that I am tired

Of the routine that is always repeating

And the lifestyle I was hardwired.

But I'm doing this for myself,

For the hope of reaching my dreams,

For the aims I have set in self,

'Cos nothing is ever in the extremes.

So, I study, for the time being,

And try my best to be brilliant;

Because I realize I am living

The typical life of a student.
