Stress and Focus
When I’m at school I’m stressed
I confess my work ethic is a mess
When I’m distracted I don’t work
I get a zero when I could be a hero
If I don’t get my work done
When I’m not focused I get in trouble
my mind then becomes a pile of rubble
My mom wants me to hustle
My dad wants me to grind
But I feel like I’m running out of time
I have four whole blocks
That works me off the clock
I’m tired of this stuff
I said I’ve had enough
My school work is too tough
When I don’t focus my grades go bad
And then life becomes sad
Because I’m grounded
my grades are bad
My life is sad
It makes me mad
