Expectations [Edit 1]
#3
Don't worry about the papers piling high.  Eventually they'll just topple over!  

I want to take a different attitude toward my critique because I was too harsh before.  

First of all, I think using couplets is a good idea for new, aspiring poets.  It provides a framework and structure to your work.

Another point: How can you transform this anxiety about the future into very concrete concerns about the present?  The stacks of papers point to some sort of tendency toward procrastination?  Could this be what the poem will ultimately be about?

My old self relates to the fears and concerns of this poem.  It wasn't too long ago that I believed the score of my next test could somehow have far-reaching consequences on my future.
