"No! Don't get tired!" (poem, free verse) January 5th

(Inspired by my own boredom and tiredness.)

You yawn, then snap your mouth shut.

No! Don't get tired!

Your eyes blink heavily, but you open them wide.

No! Don't stop now!

You stare off into space, then suddenly sit up.

No! Don't zone out!

Wait, why not?

You lean forward, putting your head in your hands.

A little rest can't hurt, right?

Class was boring anyway.
