worthless.
can't save the world,
can't get a grade.
i'm going to fail.
i DON'T fail.
worthless, worthless, worthless,
my brain tells me.
no, no, no, i fight back.
i study but still fail.
i study harder and fail,
with a higher score.
still failure.
spread myself too thin,
focus all my attention—
either way, i fail.
i'm not unstable. i know there are
other areas in which i excell.
but i am failing,
and i can't stand it.
