Every year I walk through these doors
Having made the same resolutions
That this time will be different
I'll work harder than last time
But those just remain resolutions
Nothing changes
I walk to class with my friends
I'll get something before this lesson ends
I whisper to myself
But halfway through
My eyelids are failing
Its like my teachers are eighteen
And just like that
My first lesson is over
Then another, then another
And soon a whole weeks passed
A term is over a year is gone
The exams are being brought over
I stare at my paper
Then close my eyes
Hoping that maybe just maybe
When I open them again
The answers will flow
But no,
All I get is this blank space in my mind
Which explains the blank paper on my desk
The results come out
And guess what
Am further down than I was last year
Yet another year wasted
Dreams left unaccomplished
And disappointment in my father's eyes
Wow!! I feel like a loser yet again
Just because I cant be like them
The clever kids everyone compares me too
I don't have a brain like theirs
And maybe I never will
But lets hope not
Instead I think of the next year
And make the same resolutions over again
Hoping that this time
I might actually fulfil them
