𝗟𝗜𝗧𝗘𝗥𝗔𝗥𝗬: 𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝑪𝒍𝒐𝒄𝒌 𝑻𝒊𝒄𝒌𝒔, 𝑰’𝒎 𝑺𝒕𝒊𝒍𝒍 𝑪𝒂𝒑𝒂𝒃𝒍𝒆
I look at the calendar and see the impending prelims date
but then my bed calls me as it's late
the clock ticks midnight
yet the lights in my room still burns bright.
I look at the printed notes
for a few more hours, i am engrossed
the clock ticks dawn
all my worries are still not gone.
I look down at my exam paper
wondering, if i would be celebrating later
the clock ticks and i feel the goosebumps start to rise
all i could do was take a deep breath and close my eyes.
I can persevere through this
i can and i will move through this abyss
for i am absolutely capable and inimitable
at last, the clock ticks and the brain starts to recall
