I Flunked My Exams

A piece of paper cannot judge our futures.

I have my exams results tomorrow

And I am going all pale

I hadn't studied enough

And I'm surely going to fail

I am going all crazy now

Not sure if I will pass

Maybe I will just get 2 per cent

And stand at the bottom of the class

I think I will just burn my mark sheet

And just for sake say I flunked

I will tell my teachers that I was sick

And not that I had bunked

I could beg for grace marks

But my dignity may take a toll

After all just for 10 or 20 marks

I cannot sell my soul!

All these marks are just ephemeral

And won't set my confidence apart

If they ask why I failed all of them

I will just say that I am way too smart

And if my teacher asks me a reason

I won't say that I was glued to my phone

I'll just make a random excuse

That I couldn't study on my own

But what if my mom kills me up?

Or maybe she sends me to the jail?

I have my exam results tomorrow

And I am surely going to fail

Ha Ha Ha, Its really nice, how you have shared your feelings.
Everyone of us would have faced these types of problems. I usually had the exam fear before and after the exams until my results are out. I was sure of not failing, but still getting low marks that is not accepted by any parents:)

I am so glad you liked it and that it was relatable
Thank you for stopping by and giving it a read!

What honesty! How honestly and humbly you declare that you might fail. The stress of ours before result is extraordinarily conveyed in the verse. Hope ur mom didn't read the poem😉

[Sonakshi Arora]

Thank you so much! She read it but I topped the class so no issues ;)

No Sonakshi was harmed in the making of this poem 😂

[Paradox]

I felt the stress that one feels when taking an exam...that feeling of being prepared enough from studies...nicely done.

This write made me smile. I recently graduated so I can not say I can relate right now, but yeah I've felt like flunking too often. That feeling goes unsaid among all students. I liked reading this. Nicely penned :)

[Sonakshi Arora]

Thank you so much! Congratulations on your graduation! You know I've been dying to get a review from you 😍
Made my day!

[Dr. YumnaKay]

Err I'm much humbled, Sonakshi! I'm not that good a reviewer lol

[Dr. YumnaKay]

Oh my God! Have you been stalking me?! It's seriously my story for today. So relatable. Today was my maths exam, and I know I'm gonna fail. By the way, the poem is amazing and is every student's​ story

[Sonakshi Arora]

I have been reading your works a lot ;) (if that classifies as stalking) I am sure you will do well in today's paper.

[Anjali]

Actually, I have also been stalking you, if you know what I mean.😉

[Sonakshi Arora]

Heheh lol🙈
