Spring Break
Hardly able to move
I lay on my bed
Not filled with regret
Yet tired as heck
Soft pillow under my head
And warm blanket under my hands
I finally think to myself
“I came back home”
Just returned from Australia
It was not a total failure
I enjoyed the break a lot
Though it was way too hot.
Yet my skin does not sting,
No sunburn in sight.
Sunscreen bottle in trash, empty.
Finally won’t be way too sweaty.
My bag is unpacked
And I still smell with delight
Salt water and sweat,
Everything’s covered in red.
Sand is still spilling out
Creating a beach on the ground
I went to check in my wallet,
But there’s not a cent in a pocket.
Got to shower at last
Without crawlies for company
Those adventures are now in the past
School is tomorrow luckily.
Though Australia was great
The familiar home is the best.
My eyes are starting to feel heavy, mate.
Gonna sleep and dream of the West.
