Trying to forget

 Trying to forget

By May Kwek

The exam’s tomorrow

And as usual I am nervous to bits

I fidget, I moan, I try to forget

And finally I find a way to relax

Listening to music

Watching a movie or two

Writing my stories

Reading about God knows who

Doing a crossword

Writing a poem

Solving a puzzle

Pretending to be solemn

I do all these things and more

And though I said it is to relax

I can’t help but wonder

If I am trying to forget

Forget! Forget! Why think of it now?

Will it solve my why and my how?

Forget! Forget! I will think of it not

No I won’t it is forgot!

I will not think of it

I will listen to music now

I will forget

The time’s not right now

So yes it seems

I am trying to forget

Oh let it work!

The hours I will not regret!
