The Night Before the Exam

The books lie open, quiet and still,
Pages whisper, you’ve learned the skill.
Every line you read, every note you made,
Is strength you gathered, brick by brick laid.

The exam is not fear, it’s a doorway bright,
A moment to show your inner light.
Breathe in courage, let worries rest,
You’ve tried your hardest — that’s your best.

Pens may shake, hearts may race,
But knowledge stays, it knows its place.
Walk in steady, head held high,
You are ready — give it a try.

And when it’s done, whatever the score,
You’ll still be someone meant for more.
