Bright Future I Hear

Tired to success Bright future I hear….. They say that’s sweet Only smart people get there. Like me by the way Well the smartness has a price You can see the price; many books, heavy I chase the future with a heavy load Making smartness something I will want to question It’s very helpful but exhausting Making me lazy and tired I have thought more than once; to quit Can’t I be having fun and ecstatic? I am beginning to ask questions Are teachers really fair? So I opened my bag or bags And I found each name had siblings Many math’s books, English……so many And the more you have the smart you look But it’s tiring, so exhausting Must these siblings travel together? I also looked at my play time Oh sorry I have none; I don’t even have fun anymore Now that is just the final straw I start hating smart, it drains me I am not complaining too much Smartness is costly takes energy and time I am still so young, I can’t help it All work and no play… that’s right It’s a helpful exhaustion but I have to Then I look at myself and realize I have to Someone will make me. They say it’s for the best I am beginning to hate this...do I have to?
