St. Patrick's Day. 2015.
Location
You wouldn’t guess its st. patrick’s day
Not with all these faces
Frowning in stasis
Tears in our eyes
We just keep going
No recognition for one another
Only stress in our minds
And clouds in our heads
Trying to keep up
We can’t even speak
Its finals week
You wouldn’t guess its st. patrick’s day
We’re walking straight forward, heads down
Eyes on the ground
Thinking only of tests
I thought college would be different
Learning to learn not
Learning to test
But that’s all it comes down to
One big looming test
Designed for our understanding
Rather than our test handling
But its still all that matters
Just one single test
You wouldn’t guess its st. patrick’s day
Almost no one’s wearing green
No kisses are passed (chocolate or otherwise)
No good luck clovers or cheery smiles
Grace decorations around the halls
We almost forget the date
We only know its Tuesday
Tuesday of finals week
We’re barely holding on
You wouldn’t guess its st. patrick’s day
But it’s finals week for sure
We’ve gotta keep goin
Counting down, just three days left
You wouldn’t guess its st. patrick’s day
Or maybe you would
Maybe you’re the one smiling
The keeper of the gold
At the end of the rainbow
I think I’ll be there too
In a couple of days or more
When final’s week is over
I’ll have crossed the rainbow too.
