my teachers,
they expect so much of me,
more than i could ever do
the dried tears planted on my face
after hours and hours
of staying up late,
and the constant feeling that i'm behind work
my teachers,
why do they assign so much?
the sleep i lack-
it's now measureless
i get back from school
only to sit back down,
grab my pencil,
and bawl my fucking eyes out
it's as if i were doing
all of this for nothing

So relatable though. I'm literally responding to this as I'm in a school Zoom meeting, I'm doing it virtually. I have like a gazillion assignments just pending my attention. Hope to graduate!!
fr!!
it's like teachers know students are stressed because of the exams coming up, and they give us more assignments..
hope you graduate, as well as i hope i graduate, too!
have a good day, Rocky

thanks though!
Anytime, I'm here if you change your mind

Dude. You guys have got it so much harder than us oldies. There is just waaaaayyyyyhh too much pressure to succeed and as you point out, for what in the end? Really good expressive poem EV
yeah, there's just too much pressure,
but i can't do anything about it i guess..
thanks, SC!
