GRADES

My grades are

Sinking, lowering, dropping

My parent’s tempers are

Shorting, shrinking, vanishing

My freedoms are

Going, going, gone,

Like the cool breeze on a hot summer day

I’m trapped! Nowhere to run! Nowhere to hide from my

Parents!

Grades!

Teachers!

Report cards!

My own crushed dreams!

I’m failing!

I’m failing!

I’m failing!

I’m failing!

I’m failing!

I’m failing!

I’m failing!

I’m failing!

I’m failing!

I’m failing!

I’m failing!

I’m failing!

I’m failing!

THUMP!

I’m in bed?

I was dreaming?!

I’M NOT FAILING?!!

Wait there’s my progress report,

What’s that?!

Is that an…

F?!
