I am tired and annoyed.

I wonder about the weather;

I hear rain falling.

I see lightning;

I want to go home.

I am tired and annoyed.

I pretend I am home.

I feel my head pounding.

I touch a winter cloud.

I worry about violence.

I cry for my grandpa;

I am tired and annoyed.

I understand I need to stay awake;

I say I am exhausted.

I dream for a quiet day.

I try to stay awake.

I hope to go home soon.

I am tired and annoyed.
