Hours go by like seconds

Hours go by like seconds
As I scribble across the pages
Looking at the red F that stays beside me
"I can't fail"

Hours go by like seconds
As I read the chapters repeatedly
Looking at the C that stays beside me
"Do better idiot"

Hours go by like seconds
As I write during the shivering nights
Looking at the B+ beside me
"You're useless without an A"

Hours go by like seconds
As I look through my notes
Looking at the A beside me
"She got an A+,It's not enough"

Hours go by like seconds
As I look in the mirror
Looking at the A+ drowned in my tears
"I thought i'd be satisfied but i feel wasted"

Hours go by like seconds
As I cry til the angels hear
Looking at the red F on my wrist
"I'm not enough"
