MATH


Math, what a challenge you've become

A complex problem, in short a sum.

From simply adding to the fraction

You've driven me beyond distraction

Proportions rates and the percent

Factoring and ex-po-nents.

Converting measurements of weight

Learning how to estimate.

Reading graphs, defining lines

Employment of mathmatic signs.

Commit to memory all the rules

In math these are essential tools.

Plus algebra has me perplexed

Some formulas are too complex.

a + b, equals c

That doesn't make much sense to me.

To make things worse my source of stress

Is math anxiety, on a test!

My brain goes blank, I can't compute

It seems that math has made me mute.
