🌜Moon Child🌛

I look at my covered desk, then divert my eyes to the ceiling. Tears flowing down my face, yet covering my mouth to keep quiet. School, in many ways, has caused me to go into spirals. Stressed about the tests, quizzes, or assignments I have due in one week makes me rethink my whole life. It makes me rethink my entire future in just one minute and fear if I can succeed. Stress becomes angst, angst becomes sadness, then sadness becomes fear. 

Fear of the consequences. The consequences. Cause and effect. This and that.

The trembling fear of disappointment and failure clouds my mind as I finally return home after what felt like a lifetime. Seconds felt like hours. Minutes felt like days. Hours felt like an eternity. All attempts to stall the inevitable consequences. I crawl up the doorsteps as slowly as I can, still trying to delay what’s coming.

As I slowly creak open the door, I see my parents waiting for me. 

“Here we go again.”
