Life is a dream for the wise, a game for the fool, a comedy for the rich, a tragedy for the poor.

Mr. Partially Correct

He's my Mr. Partially Correct
He's not completely wrong but ain't completely right either.
Although he makes me feel good he seems to come up short on other occasions.
Loves me right but loves me wrong all at the same time.
Can't let him go cause he won't let me.
I don't leave cause I think there's still a small percentage of him that I can still correct.
Still a small part that I can make better.
It ain't right but he ain't all that wrong either.
I could probably stick around a little longer, give him some extra credit.
Some extra time out of class just us, no distractions.
But what happens when Mr. Partially Correct becomes the distraction.
Can't get nothing done, can't even move on to the next question.
Too scared to try something new, trying to put my all into one problem.
I just KNOW that I can get this right, somehow.
Stressing myself for what, when there's other questions I could invest in.
Gotta give Mr. Partially Correct up cause he ain't never gonna be all right.
I'll never get a 100%...




Love is like war: easy to begin but very hard to stop.
