Chasing the A
by Apollo
The “A”
that intangible thing
that everyone reaches out for.
The “A”
what sets the “idiots”
apart from the “geniuses”.
The “A”
what makes families fight
and children depressed.
The “A”
we’re all waiting for it to come,
but when it does,
does it really matter?
Ten years from now
no one is going to care
if you got an A
for that Maths test
or English test
or Geography test
or Biology test.
They’re going to care
about you.
Your personality and
how you treat others.
That doesn’t mean
you shouldn’t try,
but know this,
not everyone can get
that A.
Not everyone is capable of it.
That shouldn’t define
you as a person.
if your best is a C
then you should be proud.
For there is one thing
that is true in this world
and that is that we
are not all the same man.
our minds don’t work the same.
Our lives are not all the same.
If you want an A
it should be for you
and no one else.
It should make you happy
and no one else.
Do it to please yourself,
but don’t let it
control you.
