Exam Fear

Thekkinkkattil

Sitting in the exam hall

My hands tremble

Numbness spreads from toes

Everything seems to fall apart

Am I going to pass out

 

Master comes with a smiling face

Serves the paper for me to write

Sees the panic on my face

Thumbs my shoulder to boost me up

 

Scan the paper before I start

Not so bad as I thought

Pen is the master, travels fast

Answers seem to flow out

 

At times it tumbles past

 Questions difficult to crack apart

 Alas! Time is up

And I finish my exam at last.

    Exams can be so frightening until you start them.

    It’s not that we lack knowledge, it’s being tested is what scares us, but with composition like yours, you sail right through.
