Standing there.
On the stairs.
Wondering.
Why is life not fair?

I had failed a test.
Stupid pest.
Wondering.
Was that really my best?

Got a fifty.
What a pity.
Wondering.
Will my parents think I am not witty?

Off to third.
I hope nobody heard.
Wondering.
Will they think I am a nerd?

Standing there.
On the stairs.
Wondering.
Why is life not fair?
