school was the only thing
i had ever been good at
i was too clumsy for sports
tripping over my own feet
now i'm tripping over numbers
i could never sing like an angel
voice always cracking missing notes
now i'm cracking under pressure missing the meaning
i couldn't be coordinated enough to dance
always skipping to the wrong beat
now i'm skipping problems i can't beat
school was the only thing
i had ever been good at
and now i'm watching my scores slip
through limp fingers
as my will to keep trying
drops with my grades
