Poem #1 David-Paul Hotze

Too much work, nothing but working, homework. No end in sight, it is killing me, free time is forbidden. No more relaxing, no more sleeping. Typing and writing is all I know of for this time. My planner is overflowing. Every day and night is consumed entirely by academic work. Calculations and more calculations go over more math and Chemistry. My rear end is wearing off from all the sitting and my hands and neck sore from all the writing and shifting. Cold and dry are my skin and mouth, empty are my thoughts. I sit far into every night and sleep only once the clock shows at least 3 or 4 a.m. Everything is draining me. The weeks are long and the weekends so short. Still one week until the holiday but so many tests. Learning and learning until I know nothing but it I sleep and wake and continue writing. Finally at last the holiday is here, my savior, I sleep and sleep until I never have to sleep again.

Too much

Homework

No end in sight

Writing

Typing

Relaxing and sleeping

Not a part

Killing me

Planner

Overflowing

Time

Consumed

Entirely

Empty

Thoughts

Cold and dry

Empty Thoughts

Draining me

Tests and tests

Nothing I can do

Late into the night

3 or 4 a.m.

Long weeks

So short

Weekends

Holiday

Finally there

Savior

Sleep

Sleep

Until there is no more in me

There is too much, just too much homework

With no end in sight

Hope is small or not even present

Writing and typing is all I know

Relaxing and sleeping is something I do not know

It is killing me

Beating me to the end, the ground

My planner has no more space

Overflowing drowning in work

Time is consumed by work

Time is devoted to work

Only break, is toilet break

Entirely booked

Empty thoughts

I am cold and dry

Getting up in the mornings almost kills me

Tests over tests, I wish there was more

Drive me to the outermost insanity

Nothing I can do but follow

I start to lose sense of what is work and what is not

Weeks to long and weekends to short

Final Tests

Finally there, the long forgotten holiday

Savior of me

I sleep and sleep until there is no more sleep in me

Academic work, I love it

Eternal Work

A Poem by: David-Paul Hotze

There is too much,

Just too much homework


With no end in sight,

Hope is small or not even present.


Writing and typing is all I know

Relaxing and sleeping is something I do not know.


It is killing me

Beating me to the end, to the ground.


My planner has no more space for more and yet I get more

I am flooded by work, drowning in it.


Time is consumed by work.

Time is devoted to work.


The only break, is a toilet break,


Entirely booked,


Empty thoughts

I am cold and dry.


Getting up in the mornings almost murders me.


Tests over tests,

I wish there was more.


Work driving me to the outermost border of insanity.


Nothing I can do but follow,

I start to lose sense of what is work and what is not.


Weeks too long and weekends too short.


Final Tests

Finally there, the long forgotten holiday

Savior of me

I sleep and sleep until there is no more sleep in me

Academic work, I love it
