"Work"

[Pogiforce-14]

"Work"​

​

Take home tests, in class tests,​

Book reports, classroom notes.​

English, Latin, Calculus,​

and Government Political Votes.​

Why can't I do this?​

Why does it evade me?​

Despite all the dates,​

They cannot persuade me.​

Late assignment, forgotten assignments,​

Parents PO'ed for not getting it done.​

But they don't understand how hard it is​

taking three AP classes in one.​

Gotta pull it together 'cause I'm coming up short.​

At this rate a college would never want me​

And if I don't go to college, then where I am​

Will be oh so far from where I want to be.​

This work is hard but I must persevere,​

For if I don't I'm bound to fail.​

This one relates to me so much. XD I am a very good student, but I'm constantly worried that the college I wish to go to will never take me in. XD This poem shows how many teenagers feel in their school-life. They feel swamped with homework. A lot of them do the very best they can but it just doesn't seem to be enough sometimes. I think this poem was very well done. Great work Pogi! ^____^
