The Impressions Scenario

The junior years of high school

Were very easy to me.

I sailed through my classes

Like Odysseus sailed the sea.

The teachers gave us homework and reviews for our tests.

I constantly failed to complete them. Yet,

I always did do best.

I took my intelligence for granted and this I will regret.

The junior years have passed, the senior years are now.

These habits must be changed. But I really dont know how.

It seems as though intelligence, just isnt enough.

I never anticipated that, the senior years would be so tough.

These days, wherever I go feels dark. Even darker in my mind.

The question I now ponder is, Will I ever find the light?

My mind has become lost. Mental blocks are all I find.

Seems like its gone, like it sailed into the night.

My marks have gone on a roller-coaster ride,

Between the junior years and now.

From excellent to bad and now to decent.

Im fairly content with them, the way they are now

But I promised myself, they will rise somehow.

In the short period of time, that has gone by

My habits have changed drastically.

But you still have bad impressions about me,

No matter how hard I try.

In the beginning I slacked, this I do admit.

But I really have changed. I tried to show you this

By integrating my effort and time, into that English essay. Which

I did submit.

Still the impressions remained, I saw it in my marks.

But, Im not sure if you still mark me

Based upon those bad impressions (maybe you never did)

I dont care if you believe if Ive changed anymore.

In my mind, the Impressions Scenario remains a possibility.

I just remember sometimes, even Sinbad was doubted

When he set sail to sea.

So now I write this monologue,

To you this might be just some more stuff. Although

I think I enjoyed, putting effort into writing this

But, Ive had enough.

Im sorry about the syntax, its arranged

In a confusing sort of way.

You probably wont understand what I am thinking about

If you read and read all day.

Im very proud of this monologue

Because its my own work.

And I dont mind how low of a mark I receive,

I did my best with poetry

And now I have begun to do the best in all my other stuff

Thanks to the Impressions Scenario, which

You brought about.
