If Grades Aren't Everything by Me

If grades aren't everything
Then why do I study so hard
Only to fail?

If looks aren't everything
Then why do I dress comfortably
Only to be judged?

If personality is everything
Then why do I try so hard
To be a better person
When everybody only cares about
My grades and how I look

  1. Project or no project, keep posting your work!
    They're good.

    If you don't mind, I was thinking...
    That maybe you could add a question mark after the last line of your stanzas, "Only to fail" and "Only to be judged".
    I mean I don't know how you were thinking of it turn out, so it's just a suggestion, that the rhetoric questions could perhaps add more emphasis and meaning... :S

    Also, is it supposed to be "by judged"?
    Just change that if it were a mistake (:

  2. Thank you so much :)
    And thanks for your advice! I agree about the question marks; I'll add that to it. And, yes "by judged" was a mistake, I'll fix it.
