Confidence is not 'they will like me.' It's 'I'll be fine if they don't.'


Pay attention to the graffiti

It is wordlessly mocking you

It loves being on your paper

It loves seeing how upset it's made you

 

Pay attention to the green ink

If there is any at all

You're drowning in a sea of numbers and the green ink is a life buoy

But it is out of reach and you are at the bottom of that sea

 

Pay attention to the errors

Because no matter how hard it tries, it will always be one

You wonder if it's you fault or your bad memory's

The multitude of formulas

Escaped your mind that day

 

Failure is pink ink

Pink ink is failure

And it's graffiti on your hard work

So don't pay attention to it

I failed my math exam so I wrote a poem about

My teacher marked our papers in pink ink, and I couldn't remember a lot of the formulas during the test
