Looking down at this test, my brain cannot rest and I know that I will not do my best.
I cannot fail another test.
Another weight has been added to my chest.
My parents are yelling and my lies aren't selling.
I cannot fail another test.
My head beats with the sound of a drum and my mind screams at me. Telling me to run.
When the teacher stops teaching and when everyone starts leeching and the tires start screeching to a halt I realize that this is my fault.
My refusal to understand that what you have in your hands is what determines my future.
A future full of failure.
