"You know you’re a writer if your friend tells you a heartbreaking story and your first reaction is – wow, that would make an incredible plot for a novel. You know you’re a smart writer if you manage to keep that reaction to yourself."

I stress! I panic!
I have no future
I've studied for years and for what?

I cry and I scream!
Just please let me be!
a knife can do more than just cut

I have know talent!
Achievements to shove
in the line of a collages sight

When I am described
any schooler would say
"Well that one girl she's just alright"

I'm not even cute
so don't waste your time
to say that I could make it big

I'm average and sad
and not very smart
to find my skill you'd have to dig

I wrote this poem when I was feeling down about a few bad grades and worrying about how I'll get to collage from here

"Though much is taken, much abides; and though we are not now that strength which in old days moved earth and heaven; that which we are, we are; one equal temper of heroic hearts, made weak by time and fate, but strong in will to strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield." -Lord Alfred Tennyson
