A Bull Ride, But No Full Ride – Ace Asim At this time of year, when results come out, I can’t help but think about All of the late nights, All of the countless fights, That I had to weather Thinking it would end better. Yet now as I see my results I cannot see my name come up On the list of those who succeed, Rather I see myself just as me. Nothing fancy, nothing rewarding This experience has been quite unrewarding. I see all my friends move ahead, But I am just sitting here, on my bed Wondering what I lost, Wondering what it cost. School for me was like a bull ride, It took so much just to hang on. And now, I see almost no light at the end, And I can’t comprehend How after all of this work and no play, I wouldn’t even be able to shout, “Hooray!” How all this life was a bull ride on a rocky ship, With not one full scholarship.
The Endless Rainy Day – Anonymous The endless rainy day Emerged as eerie, dark, and gray. I never would’ve bet a twenty, That one day would soon become many.
