Brain On Fire(Exams Would Be Like)
Woke up in a daze
Because I slept at 12
All thats in my brain
Is what 2+2 is equal
Run to the bus station
Revising my tables
Someone has to stop this brain invasion
And give a decent label
Crushed and crumpled
But I try to stay sturdy
But when I’m in school
It’s already 8:30
Sitting down,so quiet
Don’t how to do this but I’ll try it
My life is going into 2 lines
I’m going mad but everyone else is fine!
Feel like the only question I can answer
Is my name and class
If a plane was going from London to Paris 234765kn per hour how long would it take to get to destination x
Excuse me what! I ask
Is someone copying me
Oh god I’m paranoid
Can they look can they see
Trough the little void
Fill one dot and the other two
Everyone is cheating should I too
Answers in there hands,now they got a clue
Should have gone to the study rendezvous
Feel like the answer is c
But it has been the past 4 times
Some of these questions are crazy
I Can’t think of a forth line!
“If you have 3435 sweets and you eat 2354 of it”
“What would you have left”
How do you have so many sweets was it a theft?!
And my brain goes;answer diabetes
How long do I have left
Of this blasted test
I hate is so very bad
So now you have to listen to my ballad
Question 9 is it about North
Or is it about the Big Bang theory
Don’t know the answer to the forth
Can you please do this for me!
All I can think about is food
Pasta,ice cream salty fries
Stop stop stop! Wish I would
I’m so hungry am I gonna die
“The show starts at nine forty-“
So it that 9 and three quarters!
Should stop drifting of and making references
And stop thinking of sheep jumping fences!
Is that the bell am I free
Everyone is handing the paper
Now I can run and dance with glee
Hand it now and regret later!
Get home and scream
Is it over am I in a dream
But now I’m worried about another thing
How are the results gonna be!
Brain on fire from the start
Whoever thought of tests where narcissistic
It’s for people who are smart
And not for people like me!,like be realistic!
