You Don't Know Me


I am a student

Who in fact, tries hard

I'm not trying to be your pet

So, don't expect a card.

I am a student

Who has some hard times

My sister prego, my brother over seas

But let's face it, you only hear the rhymes.

I am a student

Who listens to you babble

Daydreaming about my future

But with you, I have to gamble.

I am a student

And money is tight.

And you not being there?

Now that's just not right.

I am a student

Who remains to be.

But when you try to "help"

Seriously? You don't know me.
