Am I a ***** for being persistent?
For studying antibiotics that are becoming resistant?
Observing chemicals that dissolve in an instant?
I just want to help.

Is it stupid to keep trying?
After each test, sniffling, crying?
Just seeing my grades and hoping they're lying...
I just want to help.

Am I obsessed with making things harder?
Is it my fate to fail? In the future, can I barter
for a better life than being a martyr?
*I just want to help.
