Senioritus [edited version]

Friday morning keeps piling on
what Monday through Thursday
forgot to mention

a migraine is echoing through my skull
rippling through brain matter
from its point of origin
right behind my eyes

a lack of sleep takes it toll
after the restless giddy high wears off
the fetal position
kissing the world
good bye

sirens scream
obnoxiously
in my defunct ears
threatening failure
threatening death
threatening conformity

both ends of the spectrum are broad enough
for misconception
polar opposites to be exact
with the straight and narrow
stuck
in between

back pain like earth quakes
tearing this tower down
starving for attention
just a pat on the fucking back

'good job on that whole
breathing thing, kid.'

'hey, i really like how you
didn't die back there.'

feed off my negativity
and i swear I'll devour yours

starving myself;
deprivation
hesitation
consummation
inclination
devastation

seeing off no where near dear friends
sending them off into oblivion
a welcome vacation
send me early

my youth, my immortality
GUNG-HO, GUNG-HO!
you say Iraq needs more heroes?
i am young and stupid,
i am crazy-brave
SEND ME, SEND ME!
