Deep In Algebra

I'm now forty six
Living in a terrible fix
Seeking my A degree
In Computer T

Try learning Algebra
Stressing like I don't know what
Didn't get it back in school
Now it's hard to do

I fail my math
Made a D in my class
Work hard to pass
But miss the task

I tried my best
Made a big mess
Failed my major test
Now I’m depressed

Barbara Writes appreciate the comment. Algebra has made me physically sick at times becoming nausea trying to get through it.
