Tapping My Pencil Against the Desk

By Annabeth Killian

Tapping my pencil against the desk Wishing this test would be over I studied all night for this moment Why can’t I remember anything The anxiety overpowers me I wish it would all go away I hear the clock ticking A backpack zipping Everyone is staring at me waiting to finish My palms start to sweat I just want to go home Away from the anxiety Away from the stress Away from it all
