You can cut the tension with a knife
Exams are often a big part of life
But fear not as invigilators are on hand
So don’t panic or bury your head in the sand!
Exam conditions means there’s amplified sound
Pages turning, coughing and feet tapping on the ground
Even the whispering between an invigilator and student
Seems so loud you hear more than you want
As the exam progresses, then comes the warning
10 or 15 minutes left; the end is looming
Trying to be patient but wanting to leap
For the door to head home and sleep
But you can’t stop thinking about it all
To dissect or not by giving someone a call
Or to forget about it and try to move on instead
Read a book, sleep…anything to get it out of your head!
