Over Achiever
by Madeline PestolesiMy entire future happiness
Is not dependent on a quiz score.
My future as a writer
Will not be destroyed by a "c" grade on a test.
A "b minus" is still better than a c.
And a "c" is better than an "f".
Ten days is a long time until my paper is due,
So I should relax.
But I can't sleep at night
With an unfinished Shakespeare paper,
A redundant Plato paper,
And test anxiety clenching my butt-cheeks long enough to make them sore.
So tell me not to worry,
So I can tell you to shut up. 02/21/2005 Author's Note: School is hard, but I make it 10 times harder on myself.
