Some say I have a near-perfect life. I disagree.
I’m forced to be someone I don’t want to be,
forced into a future and career I don’t want.
Typical story. ‘Perfect girl’ can’t appreciate her life.
Just this very hour, my parents threatened to
disown me if my math grades don’t improve.
I think an ‘A-‘ Â or ‘B+’ is fine.
I think that the whole concept of math we will never use is messed up.
Then again, my parents don’t seem to care what I think.
I read Emily Dickinson’s ‘I’m Nobody’ again. She was and is right.
Some people don’t want to be classified into our own boxes.
Some of us would be happy being nobodies.
No titles, reputation, or expectations to live up to.
I’m not suicidal…yet.
I’m just depreassed.
All empty inside.
Like a hollow shell.
Appearances can be deceiving.

Not wishing to rain on your thoughts but there are people who use math all the time in their jobs.
I am… “Water: 35 Liters, carbon: 20 kilograms, ammonia: 4 Liters, lime: 1.5 kilograms, phosphorus: 800 grams, salt: 250 grams, saltpeter: 100 grams, and various other trace elements…”
And then there are those of us who are Nobodies but we wish we weren’t.
i understand how you feel. some people do want to be nobodies. although i am one of those nobodies.
@alstare1974 I agree with the math part. Some of the material learned in math class will probably never be used. Anyways, by the next generation, basically everything will be online.
