I'm sorry i'm failing your class
I'm sorry I have a job
and a family that's split in two
I'm sorry I'd rather write this poem
Than work on homework
I'm sorry I stayed after school to work on this poem
Instead of get help on homework
I'm sorry
That I ache to write
To feel
To believe
Ad I'm sorry I don't believe
Y=mx+b will solve all my problems
And soh cah toa
Will fulfill my dreams
I'm sorry that you know I need to know this stuff
And I'm failing
Because pi was never as cool as you made it out to be
And math never taught me how to mend a broken heart
And math never hid my tears
And math never set me free
So I'm sorry but
I think I'll stick to writing
I love this.
