To be truthful

Location

I have a life, you know,

outside of school, 

in the real world.

 

My life is not just your class.

I have other classes

art, government, physics, math, 

piano, english, and economics.

 

All those other classes,

I'm probably getting homework. 

 

I have to draw that hand,

and maybe count up that calculation for pre-calculus. 

 

So I don't finish your assignment,

I didn't finish so and so's assignment either.

 

Look away

as I finish it right here.

 

I didn't get enough sleep.

Don't look at me like that.

 

I'll do better...

next time.
