Copy and paste
It doesn’t matter
As long as we get it done
Just ******** our way through
Trying to get it done
Writing answers on our wrist
Stained from all of the ink
Because it doesn’t matter
Nothing does
They say get enough sleep
But make us wake up early
They say to put our phones away
But track our every move
They tell us to put our ourselves first
But as long as we make good grades
Because the only reflection of you is your GPA
And when we cry
When we break down
When we show up with bags under our eyes
They yell
They scream
They’re disappointed
Because they set up expectations
And you know you can never meet them
But you try anyway
And everyone is shocked
When you just can’t
Because you’re tired
You’re hurt
Your wrists are stained with ink
You’re trying to get it done
But it doesn’t matter anymore
It just doesn’t matter
