Stress I Conquer Thee!

Yo! These few days have really been rather stressful on me... Probably because I've been slacking the whole of last year... ^^" A bit hard now to get back on course... (I still don't wanna study...) Yeah... But I've been working a teeny bit harder than last year... (this teeny!) Anyway, due to a request of a friend, I decided to put up another poem... (Didn't know my pastime would be this popular...) I thought this poem was quite fitting, so here it is:

A Scholar's Grave

My head is splitting apart
The stress has gone to my heart
This is one thing I cannot fight
It is killing me from inside
English, Maths, Chinese, Science
Oh, these terrible horrible binds
I cannot see
It has blindfolded me
From the world outside, so pure and free
Why can't these bindings let me be?!
I want to jump and fly and run so wild
Together with friends from near and far
I want to play to my heart's content
These books I study, it's just a pretend
My head is aching from all those sums
I can't wait 'till holiday comes
All the letters and alphabet
I can't understand a single word
Equations and formulas, with more to come
My spirit feels so down in the dumps
They scold and lecture me, but what am I to do?
I'm sure the others agree too!
These work do more harm than good
They cause such a stressfu mood
No wonder all the adults lie dead
From too much usage of their head
But us kids do not think alike
We won't go down without a fight
But these adults don't understand
Why we keep playing to no end
Stress will wash over like tidal waves
Killing and burying us in our graves

Hahaha! I still love this poem. It's childish yet witty. My favourite. I wrote it when I was in Secondary 3, during Maths class. The teacher teaches slow... (I could learn the entire syllabus twice, and she'll still be stuck half-way...) Before my maths class, I had 4 tests... One after another, in ONE day... As relieved as I was that it is all over, it still gives me a headache to think about it...

My friend commented on my chinese compo today. Said it was quite good... (Yay! She's the class chinese pro!) Thank God... It was about how beautiful Life is... And the only thing I can think of is: Love... (And if my essay gets any more sappy, I'm gonna puke...) My English teacher made me recite a paragraph I had to write as in improvement to a story. ME!!! Of ALL people she could have picked! (WHY ME?! T-T) I hate reading in front of crowds... Then, due to my forgetful nature, I forgot to hand in my Maths homework yesterday and my teacher wants me to write a 500-word essay on 'why I didn't hand up my Maths assignment on time'. I did. My friend said it was full of melodrama... (In other words, I wrote BS...) And I skipped CCA... Mwhahahaha!!! Anyway, got my wish granted. I wanted to write an essay... Now got too many things to write... -_-" But other than that, school was quite fun.

Though there is this thing that has been bugging me... Why do so many people say "It doesn't matter; I'ts nothing, and nevermind" when it is so obvious that it is the opposite...? I probably won't know... I'm pretty straight-forward. But then... There are people in this world that LOVES to beat around the bush... And I'm bad at playing "Catch the Beater"... Sheesh... Is it really that hard to say what's on one's mind?! Sometimes, those words frustrate me to no end... *sigh* Life's like that I guess...

Back to the present?
