Master-Stroke

Seconds ticking off,
Exams approaching fast,
Syllabi mountains peak,
Result looks bleak.

Runs getting dried,
Overs getting over,
Target seems farther,
Win appears dearer.

Days passing fast,
Shadows gaining east,
Life becoming short,
Toil appearing naught.

Focus on the present,
Enjoy to make it pleasant,
Draft your own future,
Craft your own stature.
