Land of Never-ending Summers

Yesterday seemed a long time ago
Nervous - my brain fully saturated
Today seemed too short
Anxiety leads to sleepless nights

What seemed like the hardest trial
Laid on the shaky desk
Black print on green paper
Corporate Finance was the theme

Dividend policy is irrelevant
Modigliani and Miller said
Shareholders are indifferent
They stand to gain anyway

This seemed painfully familiar
I am sure I came across it
Dug deep into my vague memory
Excravated pieces written down hopefully

The clock ticked quickly
A couple of hours flew past
Relief filled my heart
Regret written all over my face

I could probably scrape through this
Just a pass was all I wanted
Determined not to let this aftermath
Haunt me and spoil my day

It is my last paper afterall
My last day in college
I ought to be happy with myself
I deserved it anyway!

Yes you deserve it, and one day in the future you will read this poem again with a different perspective. Well written I enjoyed, thanks for sharing.

Regards,
Olias.

I am very happy for you...regretfully I never
took that courageous step in life. And that
is something I have to live with.

Magnus, you shouldn't regret about not taking that step in life. Well, seriously, I believe, there are many routes to take to come to a goal. I feel that being happy with your life is most important...

Irish Rose, OLIAS, James, Magnus, Seymour:

Thanks guyz for giving this a read, and taking the time to comment...   Your well wishes is very much appreciated!  

Well, at the risk of sounding too arrogant, I feel proud of myself too... hehe   But the more I think of it, the more apprehensive I get. Wonder how I fared for that paper. I really pray hard that I could just pass. It's not too much to ask for, I hope.

And you passed! Cheers!

i think this was better written than most of your pieces..my peeve would be that your stanzas seem rather detached from one another...

just my opinion, of course...

hmm, oh i forgot to tell you this..what i like about your stuff is that you always manage to include all those contradictory feelings in your works...

i think my works are too one-dimensional..hmm, need to work on that...

OOh... Didn't know there's actually something unique about the things I wrote. Yeah, quite true that most include conflicting emotions, but that's my state of mind most of the times... hahah. :P

And yes again, I know my stanzas seem to be talking abt totally different things, but it happened in my attempt to keep things short. So, do I just keep my work long so that they seem complete?
