Algebra...

Oh my it is great...

to have this headache...

after trying

to understand

what numbers are real and fake

 

I don't see

how this will help me

through my course of

life

Will I ever be

trying to see

what the angle of a chair is again?

or will I ever need to use

how to find a hypotenuse?

 

I've thought and thought

for a very long time

and came up with a list

of jobs that would ever

need algebra

 

Math teacher

Crazy Math obsessor

Architect

Carpenter

scientist (on occasion)

contractor

Someone who builds triangles

kite maker

someone who makes graphs

salesman/women

 

Too bad that isn't any of the jobs I ever want...

 

Algebra...

oh how my head burns

and I'm sorry if you like it

I don't mean to offend

but Algebra just aint my jam

I'd rather be painting

or writing

or singing

I'd rather be strumming(my guitar)

be sleeping

or eating

I'd rather

go play soccer

or basketball

or ski

Really I'd just rather be free

free of the confusion

I feel after class

of the helplessness

that I have

towards math

 

Oh how am I going to survive???

 

PS. I still have to live through geometry (I **** at shapes)

pre calculous (I don't even know what that is) and calculous (Ugh ***

 

I hope you enjoyed my "radical" poem!
