I used to be good at school,

Smartest in the class.

I guess I was a fool

to think that it would last.

Until I entered secondary,

My teachers used to like me.

But now they are all wary

And all seem to despise me.

I don't know why they hate me,

I never cause a fight.

I guess it's cause I'm late

To classes I don't like.

I used to get good grades.

My mom used to be proud,

But now my intelligence fades

Like a shadow under a cloud.

School is doing the punching,

Upper cut, hook, and jab.

I'm doing number crunching

While others are hitting the dab.

I stay up too late

To finish all my homework.

I always procrastinate

Cause of social network.

My phone always talks to me.

I don't get anything done.

I look at DJ Khaled's keys

And see another one.

I even wrote this project,

Like around two A.M.

But what do you expect

When I don't like writing them.

I'm tired everyday

And I am just a sloth.

They sleep their life away

And I am throwing in the cloth.

I wanted to grow up fast,

To rush into adulthood,

But now I miss the past.

I think we all misunderstood.

I used to get straight A's

And now I aim for 65.

I'm behind the average phase

Cause I still cannot drive.

I guess I am just lazy,

Can't make myself motivated.

My life is just too crazy,

Don't have time to be getting faded.

I used to like doing gym,

Like dodgeball and those wheelie boards.

In the beep test I almost lost a limb

Just trying to get a good score.

My social lfe is a unicorn,

Pretty nonexistent.

Stay at home and eat popcorn

With Netflix and my distance.

I used to have lots of friends

But I kind of lost them all.

I guess it just depends

If I see them in the hall.

My friends all went to different schools,

Mostly just to Wisewood.

That's just the school district's rules,

I'd keep in touch if I could.

Please don't think I'm dumb,

I used to work hard in class.

I'm so stressed I might go numb

Just hoping for a pass.

I used to be good at school.

I used to be so bright.

Smartest student studying social,

Until they dimmed the light.

This poem that I wrote,

I hope some of you can relate.

You might even quote

Some of the points that I have made.

I didn't want a dramatic poem,

Like waves crashing on sand.

I just don't like to write them.

I hope you understand.
