Testing Times...

Tripping and trembling, choking and gasping

Instead of answers, questions are rasping

Confused and flustered, looking for a way out

Instead of encouraging words, only hearing screams and shouts

Kicking pebbles in frustration only to hurt them-self

In attempts of pulling a book, falls the entire shelf

Ravaging in fury and drowning in sorrow

When vision is blurred and thoughts are narrowed

The flames of reincarnation only leave behind scars

Only pain is what remains while shooting for the stars

Two steps back, instead of jump leads to a disastrous fall

No decision seems like a right call

Take a deep breath, tear the page or just scribble over the pre-written lines

Because when nothing seems right, those indeed are your testing times…
