I Was The Best Student Poem by stp Pedersen

I was the best student in my high school
I took extra classes and used all the extra tools
people envied me because of my knowledge and brain
if they just knew the work I put into it and all the pain

If I didn't get an A+ my parents would say I didn't try
I would run to my room lock the door and cry
I did put in the effort I did do my part
they just don't understand I'm not that smart

and all the pressure from my mom and dad
they are clearly disappointed when my grades are bad
Being a teenager isn't as easy as you think
life goes by as fast as a blink.

I was the best student in high school
but now I'm just a dumb fool
I laid my head on the desk
and boom another test

all the stress and anxiety is eating me up
my parents won't even look at me, maybe I should give up
mom and dad, I wanted to make a good impression
now your daughter is hiding a deep depression

I smile and laugh with my friends
they don't know it's all pretend
to my friends, I'm a weird girl full of life
they don't know how many times I have held a bloody knife


5 years ago that was me
thinking there no tomorrow would be
all I could see was my head behind bars
now I see opportunities and shining stars

I got my life back on track
I realized life isn't that bad
moral of the story is do not delay
if you need help get it right away
