Hurting

Is it stupid to cry over losing my 4.0?

The one I've had since 6th grade?

The one that I've slaved over?

The one I lost after a stupid car accident?

Because I forgot to do one assignment?

Because I had a stinking concussion?

Because my teacher wouldn't let me redo it?

I know I can still get into a good college

A 3.999 is still very good

But I worked so hard for it!

And I didn't even know about this assignment!

And the car accident wasn't even my fault!

I just want to curl up into a ball

And cry

Until I don't have any tears left.

But I have to get up

And do the rest of everything

And hope, somehow

Something will work out

And my 4.0 will come back

But until then

Is it stupid to cry over losing my 4.0?
