On The Edge (A Poem)

So, how has everyone's week been going?
If it's been bad, don't worry. I'm right there with you. I've basically been swinging between these two states:

![[In the foreground, Gio is burrowed underneath a pile of blankets and stuffed animals, sleeping.]
Raph: It's been 14 hours... You think they're okay?
Mikey: Yeah. Sometimes you just need a good crash!](https://64.media.tumblr.com/f8b69140f378acb05c9546c80862ddbe/fb63a44ee81c2ca9-98/s500x750/af96c84b1915db2ed9613ad1acf8fb79f7c3752f.jpg)
Man, I wish my responses to stress were actually productive. :(

From the notebook- Straight A's or nothing
I'm smart I promise I am,
But when my dad grimaces at the b's on my report card peeking out between the a's
or when I cry at the table while my mom explains the math problem for the 100th time
I feel like the idiot of the year
I fail math test after test and drown in my assignments
Deadlines creep out like monsters under my bed, and my spinning brain barely has time to pray that the teacher spares me
Every day, another email begging for mercy to save my grade
But that's just a day in the life, when it's straight a's or nothing.

this is the second part in my poetry series: from the notebook, I hope you liked it!
Tell me what you think in the comments!
Got back to back exams in a week not fucking happy at all , have a physics and computer science project due on Friday literally sleeping on my desk cause I can’t afford to go to my bed now
5 1/2 hours of work and I'm still not done.
Don't ya just love school? (Giving myself a break to sleep since it's 2am, I'm gonna wake up earlier than normal and just pray I can get an hour and a half's worth of work done in less than an hour. It's immense copium I know but contrary to popular belief I do actually enjoy sleeping, and my brain isn't fully functioning currently due to being sleep deprived and absolutely wired on caffeine. Plus the usual neurodivergent drawback of "hyperfixated on work for hours, loses focus at the last hurdle".)
This is also due in P2 so unfortunately the only time I can work on this is at home and during form time :,)
