It started off when I was 5

I learned them all with all my might

I found it hard to understand

For me it’s never fun,

Always want to hide and run.

All the ABCs and 123s

Tell me why oh tell me please

Why, learn, why read?

If I could just play, it’s fun indeed

I don’t care, wasn’t listening

I play the game and stop learning

No books, no school

I’m quitting

Ah… so relaxing

No exam, no seatmates

No teacher, no projects

Just pure bliss

As they said, life begins at 40

Now I have no job, food and money

I struggle to live for what I have is none

All that’s left is none

Now I realize you’re most important

To learn is to gain

School surely is fun game

And now I feel pain

Wished I could come back…

Please… Get me back on track again..
