Does everyone experience such let down in life?
Thinking you're doing so well, for that single letter to tear that down.
When others will see your failure, they'll think of you as a lowlife.
But there's more you can do than just frown.

More sleepless nights will fix everything.
Studying, keeping your mind awake.
But will it really fix anything?
Maybe a worse grade is all it will make.

That light of hope for more success,
It burns out every time.
That grade will leave your mind in a mess.
But is failing really a crime?

Really, you could just give up.
Give up on going to college,
Give up on being a doctor,
Give up on living that dream life.

The life that really will only appear in your dreams if you do give up.
Moved by morale, you'll only try harder.
Just for that letter to tear you down again and make you corrupt.
Because really, it's not like you're going to get any smarter.

Is this maybe just a continuation of the last part? Maybe.
Am I just as proud of this one as I am of the last one? Definitely.
