1. Success at Last
A poem about being overly prepared for a test
I put all my notes away
All the papers I have used
For countless days
Get stuffed in my backpack
As the test gets passed back to me,
Anxiety fills my body in an instant
I look down at the paper,
And all my worries go away
And I see what it seems like the most
Basic,
Common sense questions
This has never happened before
I have never done too much to prepare before
But I guess this is the result of
Doing 10 times more
Then my teacher said to do
A sensation of tranquillity floods my body
As I proceed with the test
In the best state of mind
I have never turned a test in
Knowing the perfection of my score
But today was different
2. The Definition of Perfection
Poem about being perfectly prepared
I walk into the classroom,
Sit at my desk,
And put all my notes away
The test gets passed back to me
I look at the paper
And my heart warms instantly
The content of the test
Is exactly what I studied
Relief filled me as I finished filling out the test
I get up to turn in the paper
With confidence
I have never felt before
3. No Care in the World
Poem about not studying and not caring about the outcome of the test
Being over it
Is an understatement
There is no point in even attempting to try for a test
When I know nothing could even prepare me for it
The test gets handed to me
And not one feeling of doubt crosses my mind
I know what I am capable of,
And there is no way I would have been able to do well on this test
I use my best-educated guesses,
But that is all I can do
The harsh content of the test
Has never been brought to my attention
The only thing on my mind is getting through all the questions,
And finally being done
I turn the paper in
Accept my fate
And move on
4. Failure at its Finest
Poem about being prepared, but not executing the test like you thought you would
My heart begins to race
As the test paper gets passed to me
An uneasy feeling passes through me
But why should my mind be filled with worries?
I studied like I have never studied before
I spent nights on end
And put all my willpower and thought toward studying for this test There is no reason to have that feeling take over my focus, right?
I look down at the test
My mind goes blank
The words and questions all mix
Until nothing familiar is in my eyeshot
And all the work I did
And all the stress I experienced
Has gone down the drain
Each thing I was told to do to prepare did absolutely nothing Failure begins to consume me
As tears flood my eyes
I force myself to turn the paper in
Knowing what the result was.
5. The Best Suprise
Poem about not being prepared but surprisingly you know the content
The test I have been dreading
Is sadly
Here
I tried my best to consume the knowledge
To implant everything in my mind
But nothing seemed to work,
My brain was empty
So going into the test,
My expectations were automatically low
The tests get handed to me,
I fear looking down at the paper
But to my surprise,
The information on the test flows to me in an
Instant
My mind doesn’t stop
I keep writing down all the answers
Until there are no questions left
I hand in my paper,
Feeling the complete opposite of what I thought I would feel
