All it takes is to start. To open a notebook To pick up a pen To read the first line Trying hard as you can To let go that mobile To look at the page's pile To stop staring the clock Shaking brain to unlock The anxiety, to clear Pacing up and down in fear. Always feeling left behind Fear of failure creeping the mind. Then you stop and shout aloud I'll not quit and make myself proud Because all it takes is to start And I'll finish, I cross my heart.
I wrote this poem to motivate students during their exam times.
