Things Fall Apart (Keep It Together)

Keep.
It.
Together.

Hold the tears of disappointment back
Until eyes are stinging
Then hold on longer.

Keep.

Together.

Grades fall apart.
Students fall apart.
Sanity falls apart.

Keep.
It.
Together.

Pressure builds.
I need to do better.
Give more than my all.
Run myself to exhaustion.

Keep.

Together.

One poor grade
Leads to another.
And another.
And another.
Distress takes the wheel.

Keep.
It.
Together.

Work late.
Get these grades up.
A B+ isn't good enough.
Must go to a good college.

Keep.
It.
Together.

Sacrifice anything
To be successful.
School first.

But somehow
Keep.
It.
Together.
