Intoxicated Poem by Myrtle Glo Oliquino

It's past midnight now and i am all alone
Facing these perplexing notes I ought to absorb till dawn
Trying to put them in my memory for grades' sake
Though deep within I know these facts I can hardly take.

As i calculate the chemical combinations
And struggle to figure out what happens with those equations,
My mind whirls around, feeling so saturated
Leaving my eyes feeling sore and my whole brain battered.

Sleep comes to me invitingly as i try to memorize
These complicated solutions that i try to analyze
I strive to open my heavy lids as i think of all my exams,
My reports, laboratories, and quizzes which are all jammed.

Moments come when i really wanted to give up
No matter how hard i try, I can't seem to reach the top
I can't help asking God when I'm frustrated and in tears,
'Why didn't I have a brain like that of my genius peers? '

So forcefully I drag myself to keep in pace
Memorizing, calculating and analyzing to get an ace
Trying to console myself, thru hard work soon I'll be fine
I'll get over this heavy load soon and with a smile, no more I'll pine.
