Powerful Words

Whenever I hear those powerful words
My legs used to shiver like a wet bird
There will be numbness in my hands
and no action in any of my glands

The nerves will sense the pain
and dispatch signals to brain
I will get butterflies in my stomach
It feels like the whole body aches

I will forget the things around me
and it takes sometime to come into reality
There will be a sudden jerk in my spinal cord
With mind full of chaos,I seek help from Lord

My cheeks turn red and face gets hot,
whenever I hear"Exam Results are out"

I can relate to this! I felt this, especially if I didn't think I did well on an exam. Well expressed, Supraja :)

This is a great poem, Supraja. I was trying to figure out the ending before I got to it but couldn't. Very clever!
