B- it is the cruelest letter in the alphabet

It’s good, but then you can do better

What was once “your best” is now mediocre

I’m at a higher standard, one so impossible

That I feint even try to reach it

I can’t be too hard,

you’ve never struggled like this before,

I know! I don’t want to be here either

But sometimes you have to accept the B

I’ll try harder, but then I doubt that will make you happen

You forever look at the failures

What about the As across the other boards

How about the B on this one?

I’m never good enough

Sometimes I doubt I’ll ever please you

I wish I was back in grade school, when an A was a letter

Not a way of life

Then maybe you’d love me for me

And not those heartless sheets of paper
