I always thought diplomas should be golden
Or maybe the papers that hold high ACT scores
For years you study and stress and hold in
All for these papers to decide your open doors
I know some who put their worth on it
Like this test is everything they are and will be
For a time, I believed that too I must admit
Truth is, I am not smart on paper and where does that leave me?
I spent to much time thinking I was dumb
I am a highly intelligent being just not on what they test for
My life can’t rest on test scores because I’d succumb
My feet would slip into the depths stuck underneath society’s floor
