Grades

I can't math
but I can word
Start telling students what they're worth
grades do not define who you are
or how great you'll be
they're just sheets with ink that make you believe how dumb or smart you seem.
Some say we're only put in school for the systems sake, oh how I wish this was fake.
We take tests and ache because we didn't get that perfect ten. I wish we could all just shake it off our heads and don't break of stress.
I'm not saying school is not important,
education is the key but school is the lock, it's all about passing and we're not even learning anymore.
As long as you follow the rules and pass your exams you're cool,
but If your answer is something outside the box then the automatic respond is a cross.
Education expands your horizons and visions but school doesn't get further from divisions.
Education inspires minds but school just fills our heads and they try to make us blind and not think for ourselves.
Just memorize equations, facts and dates, they say. For what really? half of them I'll forget straight after the exam, god damn I just really don't wanna be a lamb.
I often find myself on early mornings running to class, because I've spent the night studying, memorizing and trying to pass. I run just to find a spot on which I could rest my head and just sleep without making a scene,
Ironic,
because that's the only time I ever spend on school chasing my dreams
No, I'm not saying that school is bad and there's nothing to gain; All I'm saying is set straight your aims and don't believe all they say.
Stay in school, just don't be a fool.
