"Because..." By Julián Ávila

Because I'm sick of certain teachers,

Because there's never any breakfast left for me,

Because I lack of clean oxygen on those crowded buses,

Because pouring freezing water over my still cramped body

is not one of my favorite things to do in the morning.

Because I do believe I'm spending way too much money

on lunch and buses when I just have to attend one class per day,

Because I hate having to try to comb my messy hair

every morning instead of letting it be

-which usually happens by 8am no matter how much I've struggled

to make it,-

Because I hate walking from home to the bus stop when it's raining and the only place I want to be is my bed without fucking caring about what teacher I have a class with cause I know for sure I'm going to fall asleep in front of my classmates while hiding behind paper sheets for them not to see me when I could have stayed at home sleeping until 9 -at least,

Because of all of this, I hate waking up early in the morning for going to the university...
