Drowning
March 27, 2014
I’m drowning in all the assessments,
drowning in all the high expectancies,
in the decreasing of my grade point average.
But I try my hardest,
working a job right after school,
I try to do my work but I somehow seem to forget
a homework task or two.
But you see we just drown ,
and drown,
and drown,
till we can’t take it and quit one or the other.
Now i won’t get paid cash ,
but atleast I’ll get paid in education.
It’s the smarter thing to do.
People drown,
and drown.
But just swim back up,
and get air.
