Meanie

Letts put it this way shall we:

I got my butt handed to me more in AP English 3 than anything before.

Yup. Raw truth. I have a lot to learn.

I tried to take it with understanding.

I knew it was for my betterment. 

That didn't stop me from crying.

I am glad it happened though,

Not happy about it, but glad.

See the thing is,

Happiness is transient. Fleeting.

It comes and goes throughout the day.

But at sundown, you can still say you had a good day,

Perhaps because you learned something,

Perhaps because you released a tension,

Perhaps because you have the mindset to believe it.
