I didn't want to share this because you'll know for sure how weak I am, but this is how it is and writing does a better job than speaking, so here you go.

I most definitely did the work.
It's math again,
Another test that's on the latest topics,
And I did the tutorials on time; listened in class, tried to understand and did the revision package.

But as always the actual test comes along and the mind blank happens.
All of a sudden I can't recall the question that I've done five versions of;
All of a sudden I wasn't sure what I was doing anymore,
And to give you an idea of how absolutely out of control I was- I legitimately couldn't add 4 and 5 together, how bout that.

Then the more I tried to shake this off,
The more the words danced across my paper,

And I had to admit that I was freaking out even though I don't shiver and my heart rate remains the same.
It's strange that even I can't figure out when it is that nerves have taken over;
And I have to deduce that from the fact that my mind has completely stopped working.

It's really silly how my weak mindedness has been such a continuous problem, but there you go.

And I suppose the only solution out of this complete halt in the cogs of my brain is
More practice, and the assurance that comes with that.

Honestly
There is a desire to cry because of how often this happens,
But you don't for whatever reason
And you get this sickening feeling in the pits of your fearful soul instead-
One that ironically sits, confidently, in your shaky cavern of a mind.

I suppose you call that a feeling of gloom;

The day has only started and there's another test, timed practice, and remedial to go.

Perhaps I'm just not doing enough:
This fatal sick feeling in me will just have to be overcome that way.
