My grades aren't a joke
You don't understand
I have to make the cut
There's only one spot left
On the family line
I don't think you get the pressure
Of being intellectually perfect

I adore the last line where you said "intellectually perfect."  It is something that a lot of people strive for, and I really get that sense from this poem.
