Don'T Burn-Out

Tick-tock,
tick-tock,
Every wasted second,
A step down from the top.

Memorize every word,
Understand every line,
Solve every question,
Be productive all the time.

"I'm not prepared"
"I need to study more"
Sleep deprived and mentally exhausted,
Burning out,laying on the floor.

Stop overworking yourself please,
Nothing is worth more than you,
You'll give a hundred exams in your life,
Don't let the pressure overwhelm you.

Panic, anxiety,
They feed on your motivation,
Take a regular break,breathe 
And get rid of any frustration.

No denying that marks are essential,
And hardwork is key,
But in the rush of pleasing everyone around you,
You will never truly be stress-free.
