I can't fall asleep
during class
The teacher will get mad
and give me a detention
for causing a disruption
to class activities
I must stay awake
during class
during this boring time
when I should be taking notes
I have to wake up soon
or else I will be in trouble
because the teacher
will tell the counselor
and the counselor
will tell my parents
Then I'll have detention
at school
and be grounded at home
I better not
fall asleep again
