A Class Poem

I failed another test
But I’ll just let it go
I’m gonna take rememdials
But I’ll just let it go
I know I’m not capable of scoring high on tests (not in this place)

He came by and our eyes meet
Nothing was said and he looked away
He probably already knows what I got on my test. an ‘E’
I suppose he doesn’t want a dumb girlfriend
NO ONE DOES

I looked at my smart classmates
smiles on their faces
happy to have such great results on their tests
I went to my desk at the very corner of the classroom

I wonder… what am I gonna be when I grow up
Would I be flipping burgers at micky D’s?
an underpaid maid?
probably one of those two
I know I’m not capable on scoring high in life

I sit at my table
All depressed
Man, this is messed up…

He came by again
and our eyes meet one more time
But instead of nothing
This time he smiled
oh, what a wonderful smile it was

My heart skipped a beat
And I felt something I haven’t felt for a long time
and I thought to myself and smiled
“maybe I’ll try to score high on the next test”
