Font Color=darkvioletuseless Epep Poem by Jane Meyer

I got a project in school today,
It’s supposed to help me make my way,
On to a successful future.
At least that’s what they say it’s for.

Why should I start ‘with the end in mind’?
What if I chose to leave life behind? !
I don’t see why I should plan,
For a future with a limited span.

I hate my life.
My best friend is a knife.
My chances of making it don’t look good,
Still think you got a reason for why I should?

For me, tomorrow may not come,
That’s why this assignment is really dumb.
But yet, you still don’t get it,
Can’t you understand this has no benefit? !

Who cares what I want as a future career?
I probably won’t last ‘til the end of this year!
I’ve got things to deal with now,
Who knows how much time my solutions allow?

You say take AP,
It’ll help with a college degree,
But I’ve still got five years to go,
And in a life full of woe?

So answer me again,
After you think of when,
The student to whom this project’s assigned,
Has an existence with little more time.
