Poem 2: FINALS

When friends break for distance and enemies forge bonds
When geeks and geniuses alike turn into blondes

When students have nightmares of papers with jaws
So many changes born of but a single cause

This vampire comes to us twice every year
To feast on our ignorance, and play on our fears

You can see its effect near the end of the semester
Hearts falter, Minds shatter, and spirits fester

Time to arm ourselves with numbers and knowledge
And hope we can get through another semester of college

Lets dive into our rooms! And the library!
Yes...that place that no-one visits regularly

We'll study for a week, a day, or just an hour!
Whatever it takes to run out of power

I pull away from the text, proud as a sarge
To survive this wretched book so gruesomely large

We all once had dreams of getting an 'A'
Turns out we were puppets, being strung in a play

Fooled to believe we could make that high score
Then came reality A'knockin' the door

To walk into a hall full of frenzy and panic
and watch my hopes sink like that blased Titanic

I look at my exam paper and feel like a twit
F*ck I Never Actually Learned (this) Sh*t
