...And the test paper's bare

The tap of pen against desk

The constant parting of lips

As my breath meets the air

The beating of heart in chest

As the clock hand moves

And the test paper’s bare

Sums laid out before me

Might be Ancient Greek

For all I can tell

Should have studied, I think

I open my mouth and let my chest swell

To release a sigh that’s deep and

Filled with regret

Pen touches paper

I consider

I have half an hour yet.




Thought I'd try my hand at some poetry. I haven't written any in a while.
