I hate the fact that I can come up with stories for people who never lived, Or a poem about things that happened when I was a kid, But I can't figure out how to remember the quadratic equation, And nothing good comes out of my power of persuasion. I have no idea what comes out of having a creative mind, But not being able to do complicated math in record time. I hate that I would rather spend hours coming up with a metaphor to describe the panic I feel, Than learn things that are supposed to help me make enough money to pay for even one daily meal. I spent more time trying to write this, Than I ever would trying to understand functions and statistics. But writing ****** poetry isn't going to help me, When I don't even have the slightest idea what I want to be.

My future feels like torture
