The grade
The house trembles
The weight feels the room.
Here you go again.
Like a lion roaring at you.
No matter what you do it’s not enough
If it's a B or a C it's not good.
You try your hardest day in, day out
The teacher, the class, the test
no matter the reason.
You can not contest.
You get tired and tired and tired...
of the same and same and same...
old thing.Do better
The weight of those words
will rip your mind apart.
You think you can do better
but you don't know how.
After a while, it starts to set in.
That you try your best
and there is nothing you can do.
But to keep trying for the A instead.
