EXAMINATION PHOBIAA Poem by JENYJust a poemEXAMINATION PHOBIA I must not blame grand mother As this phobia of me Hasn’t any inkling to the fables She told me in the nights. Bed time stories of daddy Has not any inkling To this phobia I would develop In later life… You read what happened.. What happened in the examination hall I prepared my best to attack And unravel all the secrets Behind its nasty appearance Wrapped in clueless mystery When I took my pen To fight with this monster It appeared in disguise, aiming At my fragile confidence in myself The rush of ideas in my head Mixed with adrenaline in my blood My prejudices threatened my brain My stiff fingers shivered in pain Answers that I knew, evaded me. Like an unfaithful contractor, Memory mocked at me… And finally the real demon came out… Fear of failure!! Began its rock and roll.. My eyes blurred by fear Scanned the armed troop Of questions again and again Familiar questions I must answer them.. This fear bug I must defeat him Lest my life will be defeated Streams of sweat trickled down I saw the monster falling upon me… Consciousness escaped my grip.. Into a deep darkness I eloped with my life I woke up in my dorm.. There was a palm resting on my forehead Pressing a sweet comfort into my soul.. The nectar of love and concern… Dripped down into my aching soul “Never ever fear… Never ever fight with fear Know the fear, tame the fear Every fear is a fear of loss Of something you long for… Accept the loss as well as gain In the same vain as a warrior Life is a struggle for gains All gains are betrothed to losses” Thus said the teacher Those words … Healed me, replenished me To face many exams of my life I could tear the fear, my only enemy I could gun down the fears one by one There after… © 2010 JENYReviews
