Recurring Nightmare Of Being Student At School With Heavy Bookbag

Heart is bleeding
I feel like crying
I failed my practice certification test
Now my self-esteem is dying

What to do
I spend every morning
Studying ever hour or two

When the test appears
I get scared
Especially I studied
Diligently with all the care

Why oh why
Must there be trick questions
Why oh why
Is there an unhealthy obsession

I rove in and out of books
I study and review
By every cranny and nook

The real exam needs light
The real exam cannot be at night
The real exam causes a reaction of
Fight or Flight

Da Dhoom Da Dhoom Da Dhoom
Test day is soon to appear
It's big shadow causes a giant scare
Tha Thump Tha Thump Tha Thump

Is my heartbeat
It jumps
I don't need coffee
I don't have time to slump



Poem is dedicated to all of you pursuing continuing education, esp. with your crazee schedules!

May we be blessed with these type of "burdens", and plagued with these type of "nightmares"!
