Flunked

Covered, cloudy
Walking on snow
on the mission

to visit his teacher.
Coat off, asking to see
if he is better

Walking in the room
with disgust.
He has a seat in the bed
hard as a rock.

He made him take
his essay
and read it a
thousand times
which made him abhor

For crying out loud stop.
He thought.
How could he break
it up to his teacher though?

The Egyptians weren't
interesting enough, a thing
that caused him to be flunked

Interested, interested
asking for his opinion
on his life

Three schools
cracked. Doesn't
he feel any concern
about his future?

Trying to make him
think about his future
but that made him despondent

I am trying to help.
I am trying to help you
He said

He knew he wanted
to help but then
he had to go

to the gym,
leaving him with the words
"Don't worry about me".

"Good luck". He yelled.
And there goes another lie,
one by one.
