What At All Is Exam Poem by DOMINIC PREMPEH

Like a desperate fish out of fresh water
Turning and twisting wishing for any other water
Panting and heaving in a confused manner
And waiting to finally give up with open lips;
That is how I am now; very confused and desperate
Academic life, Work, traffic and staying out of campus
Have pushed me out of my comfort zone

The pressure and stress, anxiety and the fears
All from the last giant; exam
Has Left me panting and heaving
But I will never give up with opened lips
I will rather wobble; feebly, steadily, ...
And pass through this short season
After all what is exam? Seen it from basic till now…
