Eyes open; but just barely
Just enough to shut again by the blinding light
Penetrating its way through the slightly cracked blinds
Just as the eyes begin to settle
A permeating noise finds its way throughout the room
The noise that makes the dreams stop
The day to begin
A new stress is born as the last week starts
The week that can determine a pass or a fail
The realization of the upcoming war
Makes the pain eminent while trying to get up
Eyes close; ever so slowly
As a deep breath is forced
Just enough to relieve just the slightest bit of stress
As the past semester comes to an end
