Foreign Test

She thought I wasn't done

I did as much as I could understand.

I don't know those simple words.

I don't know much of

What the test

Is asking of me.

I wrote what I knew.

I can't handle viewing

The demolisher of confidence

Once more.

I did as much as I knew.

I can't do much more.

I want to do well,

Though I fear I

Am unable to show

What I know.

I might never know

What I know.

The Never Ending Wait

Waiting for another

Name to be called,

Sometime in a year

My name will be called.

People with various expressions

See their tests,

While I wait for mine.

2nd Chance

Clamped hands

Interlocked,

Frozen.

Pressure,

Pressure,

Pressure.

Talking this time,

But not speaking.

2nd chance,

And I still blew it.

Enough

I sit here

Holding back my tears.

I don't understand this.

I will never understand this.

I have accomplished nothing.

But as I peer over

My stacks of homework,

I see my binder.

In it has papers and

Essays,

Worksheets and

Lessons.

"I have made progress."

It's slow but steady,

And I am learning much.

I can't know everything,

But I know enough.
