Exam Blues Poem by Nerisha Kemraj

Exams are coming near,
The kids are freaking out
Why is there so much fear?
What are exams about?
Do we really have to do it?
Is there no way out?

Sometimes the exams we write,
We don’t use in our future lives,
So it really makes you wonder...
Is it just a waste of time?

But no, we have to do it
Our parents / elders say its right
So no, dear kids, I’m sorry,
It seems we can’t escape this plight!
