The Reality of the A Student

The Reality of the A student
A Greek tragedy lived by thousands of the damned
They’re caged by an addiction
of papers with hundreds
And a fixation for perfection

The Reality of the A student
Is that they’ll never be perfect
As humans commonly are not
So they strive for an impossible goal
Knowing their efforts are futile

The Reality of the A student
They they are cursed with brains
Prohibited to feel, for the mind is always thinking
Intellect is a curse
When it’s all you are

The Reality of the A student
Though this drug gives them purpose
They would throw it all away
For a chance to be content
To be normal and free

Unfortunately they are addicted
Unfortunately they are human
Unfortunately they are cursed with intellect
Unfortunately they want to be happy
Unfortunately they don’t want to be the A student

But the reality of the A student
The reality of being Alexis Juarez-Delgado
Is that happiness isn’t made for them
For the addiction of being an A student is their purpose
And without purpose, how should I expect to live?
