Peotry of the Mind

100% Down

I grab up one of those

Math tests that everyone

Fails on

I purposely make sure

I don't look at the rest

Until I sit down

I quickly look at the score

And I feel my heart stop in shock

100%

How

In the whole freakin world

Did I manage to get a 100%

On this test

When everyone else barely managed

To scrape by with a D-

Okay

That was exaggerating

But still

100%

Maybe I am just some robot

That hurts

More than most people think

I fell like shouting out

To the whole world

That I'm not some robot

I won't wind in everything

And I fail

Just like everybody else

I too get D's and F's

Granted not often

Sometimes I'd like to see

A "D" on a report card

But Mom would kill me

And Dad would just shake his head

Slowly and disappointedly

So I'm stuck

In between two worlds

One where I always want A's

And another

Where I always want D's
