My Life

It’s not about the B grade instead of the A grade
Or the teachers nagging about missing assignments, but
It is about everything I have handed in late and more

The wasted time for a personal expense
Now pulls my grade point average down
It’s not about the B grade instead of the A grade

The achievements slipping from my hands
Now are placed in the hands of other classmates
It’s about everything I have handed in late and more

I can create a presentation like theirs when I have time
But Facebooking and Meebo have so much more!
It’s not about the B grade instead of the A grade

As procrastination pulls me down, stress finally takes over
Swallowing me like a sickness, but it glues my projects together
It is about everything I have handed in late and more

I have wasted my time
Letting everything I could have learned, just walk out the door.
It’s not about the B grade instead of the A grade
It is about everything I have handed in late and more

James W. Payer II
