If this is a test, how am I doing <br />I ought to do quite well somehow <br />For I've been to the finest school of learning <br />And on heartbreak, I know all there is now <br /> <br />I could teach a class about heartaches <br />Or do an essay a thousand pages long <br />For I know all there is about dissapointment <br />And on love, all there is that can go wrong <br /> <br />I could teach all there is about loneliness <br />Or all about tears still yet to fall <br />I could write a book on heartaches still yet to come <br />For on hurt, I'm an expert after all <br /> <br />I know all there is about lonely <br />And what it's like to cry alone at night <br />And if this is a test, I won't let you down <br />For I've had so much time to get it right <br /> <br />I've been to the best school of learning <br />I've had much practice crying through the nights <br />I know all there is about love that isn't right <br />I know all there is, I know I'll get it right.<br /><br />Bill Simmons<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-test-4/
