I don't even care anymore About getting hundred percent My life is dull,drab and absent Who really cares about their scores? Because I don't care anymore About impressing professors Appearing diligent, sincere I was like that long before For i started to care no more About immaculate neat work Now it starts to drive me berserk! Papers scattered about the floor Because I really care no more About how proud parents would be 'Wonderful child!' They do decree Blinded by pride- my eyes are sore Because I can't cry anymore. What does one get out of it all? Filthy numbers before a fall? An urge to run out of the door? I don't even care anymore About dreadful stories conjured Out of acronyms-minds injured Bleed ignorance desperately bored It's pointless to care anymore. 'Have a thirst for knowledge', they say Little do they know it has stayed To form an ache amidst the gore Of trying to not care some more... Writing nonsense is habitual It has become a dumb ritual Spinning yarns like the days of yore... Am I supposed to care anymore? Four years of engineering After which the truth is leering At those whose rambles are adored Unaware of anything more. 'This is college! Learn on your own' They say,and we wear till our bones Trying now to invent folklore But now i don't care anymore. Must I persist?now I must ask Am i really up to the task Of understanding from the core I'm sure of nothing anymore. Yet I insist, why so? Why now? I could leave- a cowardly cow! Moving to things on other shores Must i try to care anymore? Some people get drunk,some smoke up But once one starts then one can't stop So I moan through my rhyme galore You see, I can't care anymore. But I question without answers Too tired to be the seeker My brain is an assorted store With new ways of caring some more.
Engineering in India- this is what I feel right now, as a student who wants to learn and do well,but doesn't care anymore.
