After the tears have dried and you have screamed your throat out, after your bag of homework has broken your back and the stress has become too much, after all hope is gone and the light in your eyes has faded into black, really, what else is there to do but write some Haiku? Class of 2017, this one is for you.

Homework goes undone,

hella sad, overwhelmed.

Why do I even.

Pancakes fill up my tummy.

Couples everywhere, hiding
