Poem of the week: Grades

By Sabrina Leung

Grades
A major thing
That everyone stresses about
Grades
Can be a knife
That stabs our heart
Bleeding non-stop
Once it drops
Your heart sinks
Into the ocean
Never to be found
Grades
Can be a powerup
Like in the Mario games
Once it rises
It makes the world seem like there is no gravity
Grades
Some say it decides your destiny
Grades
It’s your choice
To get good grades
Or bad grades
Grades
A major thing
That everyone stresses about
