Showin' how funky strong is your fight.

Once upon a time, during the second part of History EYAs, my brain decided to stop functioning. I read the sources over, and over, and over again, and still I couldn't figure out how to use them to answer the freaking question. Write nonsense, I did, and at the end of it I'd produced the worst essay I've ever written in my life. (No, I'm not exaggerating.)

So I figured, let history be history and let's ace the Lit paper! After all, I'd already written the worst essay humanly possible so how bad could Lit be, right? Wrong. I read the poem over, and over, and over again, and I couldn't make sense of it. (IS IT JUST ME OR WAS IT A HORRIBLE POEM?) So because I didn't know how the hell to interpret the damn poem, I ended up writing mostly on a literal level, which, of course, is what NOT to do for a Lit exam.

So bottomline is, I'm fucking screwed, and it's not even funny anymore. I'm just hoping my history SEQ and Handmaid's Tale question can salvage me. Of course, if my Lit paper ended up in You-Know-Who's hands, then well. I'll be even more screwed than fucking screwed.

Kau juga seperti aku,
seperti dia, seperti kami, seperti mereka
yang berlari-lari tidak terhenti
berpusing-pusing di balapan ini
dan tatkala tersungkur mencium bumi
kau menuduh mereka, mereka menuduh aku, aku menuduh kau.
Sampai bila kita harus begini?

MARYAM (:
