Brain fog,
Eye strain,
Hand cramps,
Mind melt.
No more thoughts to think,
Words to write,
Phrases to say,
Mantras to chant.
Brain fog,
Eye strain,
Hand cramps,
Mind melt.
Can’t take another test,
Can’t write another thesis,
Can’t record another presentation,
But can’t sleep until it’s done.
Brain fog,
Eye strain,
Hand cramps,
Mind melt.
120 hours,
Then 72,
24,
10,
1.
Brain fog,
Eye strain,
Hand cramps,
Mind melt.
Not quite feeling the accomplishment for hours,
Anxiety hanging around for days,
Leftover finals symptoms hanging around.
Brain fog,
Eye strain,
Hand cramps,
Mind melt.
Celebrate with friends,
Update your family,
Finally sleep silently,
But then dread the letters to come.
Brain fog,
Eye strain,
Hand cramps,
Mind melt.
