REPORT CARD DAY: A POEM

Since Report Card Day is nearing and we just finished our exams here's a throwback-poem I made when I was in second year. Since then up to now, my feelings towards this event is still the same: nerve-racking.

“Report Card Day”

Time is ticking and so is my lifeline

I am so nervous, obviously not fine

My heart is beating non-stop

It flutters and aches, about to pop

My hands are cold as ice

My stomach is filled with acidic butterflies

My face is slowly turning pale white

I think I can almost see the “light”

I can’t calm down my nerves any longer

‘cause all the waiting is over

Judgment Day is here

And here I am full of fear

With a piece of paper and ink, combined

Together with letters, my future is defined

Will I shine like the stars;

And end battles and wars?

Or will I be like a black hole

In which destruction is her only role?

And now as I open it

I begin to question my wit

As I look down, I gather all my luck

Only to be awestruck
