How does it feel
to be dropped flat.

To keep putting effort in
and getting nothing back

You think it would change
And not be so hard.

But no not a chance
It's not in the cards.

I sat and i studied
I gave it my best.

But that didn't show
by the scores on my tests.

But what was wrong
I don't understand.

I made major changes
I'd taken command.

But that didn't work
At least how i planned

But now here I sit
Down in studyhall land.

I thought this rocked!! I liked how study hall is a LAND.......an actual fantasy land. I like that. It's cool. Very nicely penned here.

I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust.

Nice poem. Your rhyming is Pretty cool.

As far as coping with algebra is concerned, here's how I did it:

I started to learn QBASIC, the computer language. It's really quite a simple language. All computer programming is basically like algebra. JavaScript is the same way. It's not too hard either, at least not the simple stuff.

How come it is so easy for a person to say "I hate you," but it is so difficult for someone to say "I love you" and really mean it????

Yuck. I hate math. Acire, you're a freak. Yuck. Can't reiterate it enough. Math is the devil's spawn.

Nice job on the poem! Everyone needs math, but that doesn't mean you have to like it

i once had a fellow tell me that he hated me because i never studied and alway managed to pass, so i suppose i dont identify with this all that well except when it comes to the math part since i absolutely despise mathematics and anything derived there of... i have this theory that newton was the spawn of satan... this was a well-written and entertaining poem... good job

Put it this way: I'm so horrible in math, that I JUST finshed my required credits. I'll be graduating in June, and you are only required to take math until 10th grade...after that its optional...
