When Did Cs Start Becoming Fs?

I don’t know where I’m going

I don’t know where I’m headed

I just know that I’m tired

I wish people would just stop telling me

That Cs are bad

For Christ’s sake

They’re average

When did Cs start becoming Fs?

In fact I’d almost rather get an F

Because that way

They say you failed

Instead of

You half way tried

I don’t know where I’m going

I don’t know where I’m headed

It’s terrible that I’d be almost willing to take an F

Over a C

But I’d rather be a failure

Then have them say

I didn’t try

Even though I tried my hardest

I do wish that I could get As

Like I did in grade school

Who wouldn’t wish for them

But, I study my hardest

And accept (well perhaps not)

What comes my way

I scream, yell and cry at the vast dark universe

When I can’t work through the fray

I don’t know where I’m going

I don’t know where I’m headed

I just hope I make it to wherever my destination is

And I won’t be late
