It's finally over,
But why am I not rejoicing?
My heart feels like there's
Ketchup and cheese and everything
Messed up in one.

Because no matter how much I study,
My mind will be in a flurry
My vision too blurry
And then my brain just
Stops working.

I don't know why
That this year has been pretty much a struggle.
While many others just sail pass it,
Acing
Every
Single
Test.

Oh, I remembered I was once like them.
But that was the past.
And the gap between then and now,
Grows like a hungry little caterpillar,
Further          and            further            a­part.

Their high hopes had been doubled,
They pile high on my shoulders,
Weighing down on me.
But I don't blame them.
I would do the same if I were in their shoes,
After the ordeal that they've been through.

But time after time,
I've let them down.
But I really did study.
I really really did.

Now my hand itches
To touch my textbook,
I'm feeling so empty from within.
I guess I forgot to read a chapter.

But what's the use of studying now?
When it's all over,
And I can't change
A thing.
