An easy A

Isn't life so easy?

get great grades, do good and follow the rules,

in their eyes there is no temptation so sleazy 

and there aren't any room for fools.

i have to live my life to please the world 

when no one cares how I feel

they want to shape and shift, mold me as if I was a perl

and just like that it's a done deal.

And what if I wanted to say no!

then the eyes stare 

and I, I stand scared, dark cynical as a crow

life, life why must it be so unfair
