I Am NOT A Letter Grade
Location
I stayed up so many nights doing busy-work
That you've assigned.
And you didn't even give us back the grades
From the test we took about
Lets see...
Three weeks ago?
I'm doing my absolute best
To keep my end of the bargin,
But you don't really need to keep yours.
Since in this relationship
You have the power.
You have the power to stick
One letter
On my bruised transcript
Which I have to use to pursuade colleges
That I'm really worth it.
I am not a D or a C or even an B.
And I am definitely not an A.
I'm a real person
Who deals with real problems
Outside of this crowded classroom.
I have a personality,
And interests,
Friends,
Family...
But all you do is weight
my GPA.
