The school's exam

**The Echo of Exams**

In the hush before dawn, where silence reigns,
Books lie open, whispering their secrets,
A heart beats fast, a mind in chains,
Facing the trial where knowledge meets regret.

Pages flutter like wings of caged birds,
Eyes trace lines in the dim-lit night,
Every word, every formula, a sword,
Cutting through fear, seeking the light.

Time drips slow like sand in glass,
Each second a question, a breath, a chance,
To dance with facts, to let wisdom pass,
Or falter, stumble, in this mental trance.

Pens poised like warriors on a battlefield,
Marks and grades, the spoils of war,
In the end, it's the truth that’s revealed,
What was gained, and what we strove for.

The bell rings loud, the silence breaks,
Scripts are gathered, the moment fades,
But the lessons linger, the knowledge stays,
