Math
Numbers hike off of the page
to venture around the walls.
I'm not day dreaming
Im trying to find the answer on the wall
(like any teacher is going to beleive that)
I had the answer. I swear!
Who hired the devil to put letters in math?
And then add fraction bars.
and exponents
and graphs
and functions
.......
who said numbers weren't enought to deal with?
Now it is x-4b over 30*836 all over 370y to the fith.
Im losing my mind,
hunched over letters I cant find
regretting this class,
I'd almost prefer mass.
rembering this class is required
can't wait for this class to retire.
My head is spinning,
dancing around the bonfire of answers,
that is right infront of me.
the point to give up approches.
Tears brimming the full glass eyes,
threatening to spill over.
The consepts are simple,
but when put infront of me,
An unknown language is all I see.
And to answer your question: Yes I am avoiding doing my math while writing this.
