Test
What is the reason for finishing first the test?
Is the one who finishes first the best?
Looking around and around
When I hear the pencil-drop sound.
There’s a sense of individuality I achieve
When I am the last to re-read
Lamenting I have nothing more to say
Am I toiling for more than just an "A?"
Or Is it my pride to be the last?
Thinking completeness not just fast.
