i told myself it's fine
that grades don't matter,
but i know i worked hard for this—
this was the hard work and tears i gathered,
why is it so easy for people
to say it's okay,
just because they had it better than i did?
is that all they have to say?
i feel like i don't deserve this,
but what else can i do?
people would say to just move forward
as if it's so easy to do,
when all the hard work i did
equates to this failing grade,
then is it better to do nothing at all
and wait for whatever i will get?
