Sat in a class
My heart was stressed
Came time to succeed
And I knocked out that test.
Time to rock out now
Ooh yeah!
I'm the best there is
Ooh yeah!
La la la la la... I'm gonna rock... you!
Time to raise it up now
Ooh yeah!
Best believe... I can't fail.
Staring at the cork board
My eyes glazing over notes
300 vocabulary words
And 5 essays to boot.
I've been studying from 4-8 each night
It's almost finally over now
Much to my delight!
I find myself making much out of nothing
Suffering from some made-up disease
called "test anxiety".
Got to have the confidence
And an unfailing drive to succeed
Nothing but top of the class, best of the best
Will be enough this time.
But I rocked it!
You can't stop me
All those hours of dedication paid off
Not a triumph worthy of a trophy
Just enough for me
My own personal victory
A smile is what I wanted, and so got.
If I can do it
You can do it too
Patience and persistence and confidence
In everything you do.

This is a really nice poem. I love the way it's written; it shows you can keep a reader reading because you can write in a quirky narrative style that keeps one's attention. Unfortunately, the effect is lost on me since I failed a math course miserably this summer and have to prolong my education to retake it and the two that were to follow. I should've been outta here this Christmas. Off to the University and to my English Degree. But no, I had to go and fail a lower level math course, despite all my confidence and willingness to learn the material.
