x and y, You and I

Instead of this wretched x and y

I wish it was simply you and I

I wish fractions never made me want to cry

And algebra didn’t make me want to die

 

Geometrical concepts make me go mad

Percentage and statistics just make me sad

The torture of equations hurts really bad

The math ability is something I never had

 

A hand in your hand, well, that’s addition

Of our springing love, I wish there’s no subtraction

With you, of feelings, there is multiplication

Two bodies, one soul, without division

 

That’s the only math I know

My math book? I just want it to go

The triangle is my biggest foe

And that’s what makes me feel so low

 

Those angles, and triangles, they spin my head round

To torture me, was this the only way they found?

The sea of BODMAS is just where I’ve drowned

You took me out with a net, that’s just how we’re bound

"and can you imagine an x without a y... ?
they're always found together like You and I ...
genetics like maths too proves it over
that without an x, this y would die ..."

If only math was this easy XD.

A wonderful write, Rhea. :)

I liked this piece! It was fun to read and very entertaining. I don't dislike math and I don't love it either. My job requires me to do simple math everyday, so I can't hate it. Haha Anyway, you did a great job with this.

I agree with the review of the third line being too wordy. I would try and reword it or remove some of the excess words.

I also hate math. Tons.

Third line is too wordy.

I like the insertion of x and y, try adding more mathematical phrases like that? Like the quadratic equation? For a poem about hating math, it'd be cool to insert the ickiness into it.

Thanks for sharing!
