Try hard
get good grades
Be smart
and you'll be successful in life

That's what they said.
Not knowing the damage this would cause

Smartest of the class
is last to apply to jobs

Those that don't try
struggle in life

but no one knows the pain of the averages
the ones who weren't the smartest
but they tried
the ones who had to work hard
because school wasn't natural

Those struggle to find jobs
but they find something
expect one

the youngest
the one who tries their hardest in school
and stays up studying material
while balancing life

but because of a number
they are pushed aside
and their classmates take the opportunity available

"Don't judge people."
"Don't look down on people."
"Don't discriminate."

but you did
when you said I was too young
