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!

A piece of paper cannot judge our futures
i like this line. Do let others judge us. we need to find our abilities , strength and weakness, and need to focus on our weakness and change that in to our strength. Then success will follow us

No matter how much marks we got in exams

Good thought and nice presentation Sonakshi

[Sonakshi Arora]

brilliant Sonakshi, my son is doing exams at the moment so I shared your poem with him...he too his glued to his phone and we need to nag him constantly to revise - I hate doing it but I tell him it's just for a short time and it's so important - flowed really well, great read too, well done :)

Nice one. Though if your teacher asks for a reason for flunking exams, you can say you were busy writing poems and show her this beauty here;)

[Sonakshi Arora]

So sweet! Thank you for the compliment and the excuse :p
