Life as a Student


Countless hours of memorizing

Nothing matters more than the A

That's what they tell us. 

Give us piles of homework

Claim they care about our lack of sleep

That's what they tell us. 

Push us to be in countless clubs and sports

While we work after school jobs to support

They say they care

They say it gets better

But that's just what they tell us.
