Should You
Should you really really?
Should you really take this test?
Does it really matter
If you're the very best?
Should you should you really?
Are you sure you should go through?
This doesn't mean anything
Not even that you grew
So you're better than your friends?
Did that make your mother proud?
Are you glad you went through that?
Just to see your buddies frown?
Should you really have done that?
So what, it's just a crown
You know the real winner
Is now really feeling down
You pushed him
You teased him
You know you've lost a friend
Now was it really worth it
Just in the very end?
Wow! You're faster!
Wow! You're smarter!
Wow! You're really great!
But now you have nobody,
To share with in this fate.
So really should you really
Take this test again
Who knows how long, how far, how wide
This test will take to mend
