Knock knock. 

Who's there?

It's me you see, without a care. 

I've worked so hard

And now I see

That maybe that's not working for me. 

I don't need A's 

And I don't want C's. 

What I really need are: memories. 

Grades are important;

They'll get you to college. 

But they won't necessarily fill you with that kind of knowledge. 

Knowledge of the world

And all the beautiful people in it. 

A laugh with friends, a smile, the joy of relaxing a bit. 

This is  what

I hope to grasp: 

Joyful experiences that make time seem to last. 

Adventures, escapades

That help me to grow

And learn what in life that I truly need to know.
