I can’t pay attention to class
Sometimes I feel I won’t pass
When I’m online I waste my time
It’s as though a bell is constantly ringing in my mind
Only serving to remind of other things
And then I can hardly focus
Mind addled, as if by blue lotus
And information, though I try to make the most of it
Passes me by, seeming to fly
Low in the depths of my mind
Where I cannot seem to find
The knowledge that I need to survive class
To have a chance to perform at my best
So that I may rest, knowing that I’ll do well on a test
But I can’t, it’s not that I don’t want to
It’s like I can’t choose, between win or lose
Pass or fail, it makes me pale
Being online without fail, never learning in person
Being at home breaks my routine
I teem with anxiety not being able to concentrate
Seemingly only able to procrastinate
It’s something that I hate
Not a sensation I’d highly rate
But it seems my fate until the disease subsides,
For now I can’t hide that, no matter how hard I try,
I’ll always have something else on my mind
And my work will often be something I shirk
Until I can delay it no longer.
