NaPoWriMo – Day XXIX – So It Begins (Exams Start Today!)

All the preparation
All the blood and sweat and tears
Have led us to this moment
To this day here

One by one we march
Into the maws of hell
Trying to focus
With every last nerve cell

We see the fear and anxiousness
In each others eyes
We say our good lucks
We say our good byes

We are together in this battle
Yet each must stand alone
Led to face judgment
Upon their solitary throne

No more time for strategy
It is time to flee or fight
And those that do survive
Shall make merry this night

Friends run in the first wave
Mine shall come tomorrow
Till then hold back the floodgates
Of trepidation and sorrow

I wish the best of luck
To all who fight this day
Once more brave warriors
Let us into the fray!
