Exam not examing

Blood stained students life

By Karun Published 11 months ago 1 min read

There are nights when the world feels so still,

Just me, my books, and the weight I can't kill.

Each page turns heavy, each word feels wrong,

Like I'm climbing a mountain that's far too long.

Exams not examining, just stress in disguise,

Math not mathing, numbers feel like lies.

Books not talking, pages stuck in place,

Mind not thinking, lost in time and space.

Words not meaning, sentences collide,

Effort not easing, no matter how I try.

I try to focus, but doubt creeps in,

Whispering lies: "You'll never win."

My heart grows tired, my eyes grow red,

And sometimes, I wish I could just go to bed.

But still I'm chasinggg

Yet exams not examining, just stress in disguise,

Mirror not mirroring, when I want to look at my face.

But then comes the day when results arrive,

And suddenly, all those late nights feel alive.

That grade it’s not perfect, but it’s mine... MINEEE

A spark of hope, a reason to shine.

Brightt as you can

It's my life now in the line

It’s funny how sadness and joy collide.

How tears of frustration turn into pride.

Yes, studying hurts, and yes, it’s tough,

But deep down, I knew I was strong enough.

So if you're feeling lost or about to give,

Remember this truth: You’ve got more to give.

Every struggle shapes who you’ll be,

And every small victory sets your spirit free.

Heartbreak fades, but lessons stay,

Guiding us forward, showing the way.

Keep going you’re braver than you know,

Even on the hardest days, you’ll grow.
