Only Worth Five Points

I stared at the assignment,

unsure what to do.

I had not done the first part,

but there were already problems.

I could only comment

on one person’s reply.

You wanted me

to let the teacher know.

I considered it,

but saw it was only five points,

so I ignored you.

I did the first part of the assignment.

Submitted it.

Responded

to the only person I could.

You pushed

for me to explain why to the teacher,

but I ignored you.

You’re not always right.

You push too far.

Take too many liberties.

What would have been the point anyway?

The assignment

was only worth five points,

but that doesn’t matter to you,

so I have to fight you.
