Perfection… by Anonymous
get the grades,
join the right clubs,
can’t forget volunteer hours,
do your homework,
make sure to study!
"Finally a break…",
I say as the tests begin to pile up
There was no difference between weekdays and weekends than what you see written in front of you.
I wake up, school, sports, homework, repeat.
Maintain a healthy routine,
make your parents proud!
“You’re nothing without the perfect education” is heard in the form of a pounding headache.
days and days,
trying so hard to be perfect like the students before
"why wasn't I lucky?”
I'm drained… the weight on my shoulders,
pile, pile, and pile, until it can’t anymore.
I try, try, and try
But no results…
Again, I remember you're far from perfect, if you aren’t smart.
