Sweating, nervous,
it feels like I am walking on glass
one sharp move
and I"ll be bleeding out
Oh dear, will I pass?
Are grades for clout;
at what cost do I put my all out on the line for an A+?
Did I study? Did I study enough? Did I even study?
The dirt on my shoes, the rumbling in my tummy,
boy was I right, this is going to get muddy.
What if I make a careless mistake?
Will the imperfect people who expect perfection cut me some slack
or will the world be breathing down my back?
We smile and we laugh
simply to hide the pain inside
but this isn't a bruise on a calf
this is a gash on your heart,
the heart you're wearing on your sleeve,
on the sleeve that wipes everyone's tears;
you are wise well beyond your years.
You see the truth and the pain
you see the effort that results in no gain
and you understand
life never was easy from birth
but the blood runs white as snow for
Does a test really show your worth?

I hope you all are safe and at home and in the best of health. May the Lord truly guide us and be with us and allow each and everyone of us to be a light in someone's darkness. Reach out to your friends, your loved ones, your neighbors. Be a friend. Spread love. Stay indoors.
~ Have you ever been in bed for more than 24 hours?
I wanna know why and when cause I would love to live in my bed!
Sending you much love,
D.O.
