Exams: How wonderful they are Because in the moments leading up to them I’m ******* happy A fantastic sense of euphoria Something I haven’t felt in forever Because teachers stop teaching A few days before Easy reviews and exam prep starts And I get to relax Nothing new to learn Just old things to remember Then they actually happen And I remember why they’re so horrid Cramming the night before When your friends tell you The test wasn’t as easy as you’d hoped And remind you that no amount of prep could prepare you Exams are ******* hard Don’t you dare try to tell me otherwise. I cry myself to sleep after hours of staring blankly at a full sheet of paper Eyes wandering but not focusing My mind turned to madness Euphoria gone all too soon And I’m back to hating myself Wanting to quit and give up everything But I can’t Because as everybody says It’s just exams Like they don’t realize the anxieties and pressure that come from those four letters I hate them And the worst part is I know I’ll survive them And have to suffer through again next year And the year after that Until the year that the exams conquer me Absolutely destroying me inside and out And I guess I’ll just wait for that to happen Hopefully sooner rather than later.
