Our Future Undecided Poem by Nirupa Narine

We were just too young to understand
Why they all made such a fuss,
Wasnt it just an exam?
Wasnt it jus like every other?
NO, they would say.
Its the exam that would shape your future,
Make you become what u want,
blah blah blah.

To us, it was just an exam,
Just that it was important,
Maybe if we think like them,
We would go into the exam room and
Jus faint with all the pressure built around us.

We understand that they want us to do good,
And make something with our lives,
But how can we do so if...
They have us 24/7 studying?
With no break?
Then everything that we would study would make no sense.
