Can't Learn, Why Stay


Repeated kindergarden

No big deal

Older than my peers

Okay

Can't drive

Can't work

Why?

Blame them all

My parents included

Deffered action

My blessing

Paid twice

The heck

Been a year

At least I'm not a senior yet

College?

Hopefully

A reality?

Slim chance

Must I keep putting up with school everyday 

Knowing it might all be a waste

Yesterday a junior

Today a senior

Tomorrow not even in college

McDonalds here I come

With my high GPA to flip them burgers

With my dedication

With my strive

I blame them all

Including my parents.
