I work my ass off
On every assignment
Study for every test
Always try my best

It's never enough
I always have to be
Better, smarter
Try harder

I get home
so much homework
Not enough time
It seems like a crime

Page after page
Grade after grade
To much to do
To important not to do

I look over the page
Again and again
But in the end
I can't tell if its English or French

To many word
Mind won't focus
On words on a page
Determining my grade

Stressed.
Need rest.
Depression
And anxiety

Sorry teacher I failed your test
Why
Because I was working on your assignment

You see
I didn't understand
How could I make you understand
I'm a straight A student

I always know what to do
Right?
I never need help
Right?

But I do need help
We all need help
The smartest kid I know is failing
Failed by the school

The school that labeled them
Lazy, not struggling
Skipper, not overworked
Stupid, not need help
