By Persephone

Day in and day out,

The studying continues throughout.

Distractions are everywhere;

The temptation I must forbear.

The deadline is looming,

My knowledge barely blooming.

As time goes by, my willpower fades.

I barely even care about the grades.

The clock is ticking,

Yet I feel my brain shrinking.

With a process so painstaking,

God, I hate test-taking.
