My thoughts on the midMy thoughts on the midsemester break semester break words by: bellarose watts I feel so lied to Betrayed I’ve tried to Understand you But I fear I cannot The lecturers wish us a “good mid-sem break” But the only thing I see breaking is my heart When I click onto myuni and see To my utter despair The assignments you’ve given me are endless A quiz A problem question A research task Suffocate me, as my screen whispers ‘Are you still watching?’ From my other tab I wish my “break” didn’t end in a breakdown How foolish I was to think I could get all my assigned work done In the last week How naïve When it’s winter, and the beers taste extra sweet And then Just when I thought I’d survived Week 7 hits My childish heart had truly believed This year would be better Oops.
