Finals Phobia
The time for finals
Has quickly arrived
And today's the day
Please let me survive
My head is throbbing
My palms sweaty
There's no turning back
But am I ready?
I've studied so much
I must know it all
Of course, if I don't
I'll be back next fall
I've spent lots of time
Just hitting the books
Gone over the notes
Painstakingly took
I know all the dates
The formulas, too
If my mind goes blank
Just what will I do?
All of this data
Running round my brain
Might just disappear
Oh heavens, the strain
OK, get a grip
How bad can it be
I know the answers
I do! Wait and see!
After all the time
Devoted to school
It comes down to this
I won't play the fool
I have done my part
Studied hard and learned
This education
Has surely been earned
Who am I kidding?
I've gotta admit
When it comes to tests
I feel like a twit
I hate taking tests
My stress level's maxed
And that's how I'll stay
Til my grades come back
