I am sitting here all prepped and ready

Ready for a presentation about the English-speaking-world

I am in survival mode

This is my ego show

*

It is one of many tests

Tests to help my ego consolidate and grow

I am all in for it now

Ready – go

*

Little do I yet know

This is only a necessary show

Before the greater exam

Which is yet come

*

It will come later

At a time I am ready

This is no joke

No fun time, no show

*

Yet I must learn

That my ego must burn

This exam will feel like dying

But I will strike gold
