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!
