You tell me,

           Stop being so studious

           why work when no one else does?

                 as if I have never seen you working till three in your dorm

You tell me,

          Stop being so pompous

          why be different when no one else is?

                as if I have never seen you with crossed fingers for leadership positions

You tell me,

          Stop being so serious

          why don’t chill and socialize as everyone else does?

               as if you are not working all day and night

I tell you, 

      Stop being so hypocritical

      why not just stop being double-faced

            as if I'm not calling the kettle black

I tell you,

      Stop being so judgmental

      why not just judge yourself first

             as if I don't have a plank in my own eye

I tell you,

      Stop being so querulous

      why not just stop dwelling on how your teacher grades you 

             as if I didn’t do it myself

Such hypocrites. You and I.

But the show must go on.
