Homework here
Homework there
There’s Homework everywhere
Studying every day, every night
With no end in sight
With all this homework
My future isn’t bright
Teachers always complaining
I can’t get it right
My bags always heavy
I can’t remember
The last time
It was light
When I don’t have homework
It is always a delight
But that has never happened
In my life
Never having time
To get my work done on time
It’s getting me up tight
If the schoolwork
Keeps piling up
I might just
Hop on a flight
But despite all of this
I still must push through
Because if I don’t do my homework
I know my future also isn’t bright
So I must continue to fight because
In the end I know everything will be alright
And I will finally be able to celebrate
And see the daylight
And later on I will be able to put a roof
Over my head
And go to the park with my kids
To go fly a kite
Which will be
A beautiful sight
My smile will be bright
But until that day
I just gotta keep on doing my work
So eventually I can find work
And not turn into a twerp
One more year left
How much worse can it get
I don’t have anything left
All the stress
Worn on me
Like a dress
Teachers playing with my grades
Like a game of chess
Will all of this just be
One big regret
But no, I can’t make my parents upset
I must have success
Otherwise, I will be oppressed
Expectations heavier than a bench-press
And they’ll never let me forget
All this mess
But I digress.
