Exams

By Abhay –

Exams, exams, exams 
Oh it is such trouble,
it scripts the worst month of my life 
I would rather move the rubble.
I cannot laugh or draw or play
all I can is study,
I keep re-dying everyday
I can’t even talk to my buddies
In the end I do really well
and be the topper of the class
but it really doesn’t make a difference to me
if I came first or last
