Calculus Blues

Calculus Blues

I sit in the classroom with the lights on

In my desk I stare at the test

Integrals, derivatives, infinite series, and limits

Are all fair game as I try my best

Calculus is like math on steroids

Extremely challenging and difficult

It makes my head spin with dizziness

As I feel like I’m in a gigantic void

The test is like 30 questions of torture

What on Earth is the derivative of sin(x)?

I write down an answer

And hope that miraculously I got it right

Math is challenging and makes my mind hurt in pain

It’s so abstract and crazy

Numbers, symbols, and rules galore

Calculus is one of the most challenging math courses I stayed

I get out of the classroom as the bell rings

I feel a sigh of relief as I leave

Equations, variables, and geometric shapes

Too much for my head today
