Exam!!!

Tik tok tik, the clock counts 1.....
Open book in the desk and the lessons all undone.

Loads of syllabus spinning in the head.
But brain is not working, uhh... it might be dead.

Chemistry exam tomorrow and all I'm doing is staring at the book..
With big and round eyes, I tend to count the pages from every nook.

I don't even know from where to start.
Oh, I just wanna tear my hair apart....

Painting the periodic table with the black inked pen,
After 30 minutes I realize, this is not in the syllabus given by Mr. Wren

Wow, dude wow, 6 hours left for exam and here I'm busy planning the vacation
And there in exam hall, freaking out with the invigilator for sudden change in the exam duration.

Well honey, if u don't study, then time will surely bother your speed
But hell, why doesn't these noble thoughts comes before xm when I badly need.

Looking at the question paper, I fall from the sky....
Hands on head, I murmur, sweetie, today you're gonna die..

Somebody kill me please, that will be far better than solving problems on these unknown topics
I mean, this is not a cricket field that, pay attention to the ball and here u go....SIX!!!

I just wanna cry staring at that nerdy girl writing at a stormy speed
And imagining the reaction of mom and dad after unveiling my outstanding deed..

Well, not that outstanding, I meant, out of the house standing..
And weeping and saying sorry with heads down, just pretending...

"Ana dear, are you okay? What are you dreaming?"
"Oh I'm great, Miss Hazel!" but inside, I'm screaming...

Alas!! last 30 minutes remaining and my copy is full blank
And deep inside, I'm controlling myself from the massive tear's bank...

Last night, I passed the time singing Lorde's Royals
So now, what's the use of crying for not doing the appropriate toils?

What else to do? Submit the copy and get out of the hall...
With a famine face I came out wanting to hit a wall....

Next, acting like a tortoise and crawling towards home
But don't have the strength to face mom, wish I could bury myself in a nearby dome..

"How was your exam?" mom's eyes seemed burning red behind the glass
I paused for a while and jumped out and yelled, "mom, this time, I'm gonna top the class!"

This is exactly how I felt during AP tests. I swear they release some kind of gas in the room that makes you forget everything and then want to die. This is just an opinion but I think the poem would look nicer if you actually wrote out the word 'you' instead of 'u'. But I could be biased since that's one of my pet peeves. Either way the content is great! Nice job!

[Lenah Mehzabin]

I definitely agree wid u Beka but i think the term " U'' can also b a style of writing modern poetry especially when it's mean to b something funny .haha she tried to b a more realistic in language than in grammar i guess :D ..coz she is the person who is always careful about grammars how far i know ;)

[A Scribbler Named Bek]

Like I said, all opinion :) It definitely is a modern style....I guess I'm just opposed to it because for me it symbolizes laziness - like if you're going to write something might as well write all of it. Maybe I'm just ridiculously old-fashioned. Someone invent the time machine so I can go back to my real time!

[Lenah Mehzabin]

haha no ! i din meant it u r taking my words in a wrong sense i m just telling according to person coz how far i know she is careful about using short-cuts ..nd ya i think in poetry it's better if we don't use short-cuts coz it reveals the lack of sincerity and definitely laziness !

[Tasfia Islam]

I'm really sorry guys....I'll fix that lazy mistake from next time...

[ayesha gupta]

[Jamie]

You're welcome :)

I can somewhat relate to this poem(DEFINATELY to the picture, only in my case this happens to me in math instead of science). The poem, as usual, is really well written. I liked how you mixed humor with sadness, I don't see that kind of mix very often in poems(I don't know if you intended to do that or not). Overall, I loved the poem!

[Tasfia Islam]

thank you... :) i dnt know that either...its just what happens to me during xm( mixture of fun and sadness in the end) haha...... glad u liked it

[Chaise Nicole]

I just finished taking a test and my head went horribly blank so I so relate to this.

[Tasfia Islam]

:) me too......my xms just finished today

[Rudi J.P. Lejaeghere]

Wow, you succeeded to make a poem about a nightmare I had when I was young during the exam period. Your poem is very narrating and also a bit funny, however I can assure you that this as a nightmare is not funny at all. Very well done, Annabelle.

[Tasfia Islam]

Thank you so much...glad u liked it... :)

when we in school, we have to be smart, then when we out of it, we don't always have the incentive, we have to have a happiness about knowing what we need to know, it shouldn't be an issue but boredom is a type of torture, the nerdy girl don't know much either but have to overcompensate to find a place and meaning in the world, they don't know that they don't know as much and it breaks them a little to realize it, then what they got to live for? sometimes a song just speaks to us and we revel in its gloriousness of composition, but we don't have to worry too much because it will grow tired on us after a duration, that's why we need new songs in the nation

[Tasfia Islam]

[Lenah Mehzabin]
