Life is like math
It just comes easier to some people
Other, like I have troubles understanding
What to add, what to subtract
When to multiply, when to divide

My life is like a math test
When I know what I’m doing
There is nothing that can defeat me
But without the knowledge
I feel like a failure to myself

My life, like my math, is being graded
Maybe not by a teacher
But by the world
Maybe not with a letter
But with the amount of my credit score

My biggest fear in high school
Is not succeeding in math
My biggest fear in life
Is not being successful at all

Life is like math
It just comes easier to some people
Other, like me, have troubles understanding
