playtime is done, school has begun

it's a pastime

it's a hobby

it's a black cloud

in a dead body

it's hymn

it's a song of praise

it's black lungs

in a grey haze

it's a sameness

it's barely a high

it's feeling the way

i feel all the time

dumb, numb, and dizzy

barely alive

a ghost in a shell

a bee in a hive
