"My battle with College"

When September rolled by
All I wanted to do was cry
I knew I had to write my college essay
But every time I tried my thoughts would stray

I once sat down for five hours
But for some reason I couldn't find the will power
I kept distracting myself with food
So my sentences were quite shrewd

I received a lot of pressure from my dad
He said I have to do good or he would get mad
I was waiting for the right idea to spark
But this task was no walk in the park

But in the end everything worked out
I was so happy I started to scream and shout
My college essay was finally complete
I felt my chances of getting accepted were concrete!

  1. I really enjoyed reading this poem because this is something I can definetely relate to. I found the part about your "dad becoming mad" quite comical because my father would do the same.

  3. I really liked this poem. I could relate to it and I enjoyed the way it was written. It was funny, witty, and truthful. I felt the same way when writing my essay

  4. Writing my college essay was tough, too. I'm glad you feel you did well on it, though.
