Debilitated Motivation


It’s test day for students of African descent The test is administered but the questions on the test is what the students resent Instead of opposition the questions are faced with submission The willingness to give self-doubt free admission And turn it into the students’ strange fruition Of quitting their original mission Making it look like the opposite of motivation But it is not, it is the activation Of negative reaction among the group of students When faced with academic rigor The action is the opposite of vigor Quitting the test swiftly and prematurely Without any attempts on the test made The possibility of them passing the test fades All because of the presented material That is out of the student’s comfort zone And the unwillingness among them To take on the test questions unknown
