ACT: Torture
A, the atmospheric pressure pushing close to the ground.
My hands sweat with apprehension and pain. My head, bursting from all the thinking I have to do.
And my heart, is beating faster than the clock of a time bomb can reach zero
C, the climatic moment of my junior year
Most of what’s in my future that is and that will be, is affected by a book of 215 test questions and an essay
The thought makes me feel like I’ve bitten down on the curb and got kicked.
T, Triumph or Turmoil
Those who do well enough can expect greet things and greet feelings
From themselves and their family
Those who fail know only turmoil,
Caused by the failure of their ability to rise to the challenge
