Board Exams!

The academic year has come to an end,
Testing times are here,
After days and nights of study,
Board exams bring forth fear!

Will I remember,
Will I write,
Will I do well,
Or turn blank in fright?

My parents are worried,
I am as tense as I can be,
The results are awaited,
To my future it holds the key.

But wait, what if I am unable,
To achieve a high score?
Will I be a disgrace?
Won't my parents love me any more?

'Cause this is just one,
Of the many tests in life I face,
Life comes with opportunities,
In time they will surface.

My percentage is just a  number,
Not something to judge me by,
I know I am worth much more,
If only you let me try.

For in the end what matters,
When we face life each day,
Is our confidence and dedication,
That shapes us on our way.

So if you do well, that's really good,
But even if you don't, don't fret,
Just keep moving ahead in life,
Be positive, and your life is set!
