Expressing My Inadequate Self

3 0 0
By Lusterdragon72

The air is hotter than it was before.

I find my mind at its limit of 'trying'

Once I get home I will not look over what I should.

My lack of learning has me feeling inadequate.


I'm not absorbing what's on the board.

When I write it's about who I am and not what I need to be doing.

Study... when did I lean to do this?

When did I 'get it'?


It depends on the teacher

That's what I know for sure.

Depending on who is speaking and how they speak, I can learn what is being said.


However, the pattern here is look at the powerpoint,

(Which is copied and pasted)

I write notes as best I can

But how can I truly learn this?

It means nothing to me.


As my time comes closer to needing to go home.

A sigh escapes my lips.

Will I fail? I wonder.

Am I adequate enough to their standard?

Midterms is this week. Wish me luck everyone.
