Be Strong

by katrinalharris13

All my life I never had, a school year that went so bad. It should have been the best of all But I hurt my knee playing basketball. A hospital stay took me further behind, Could I pull up my grades Will I get back in time? Advanced in all classes, extra classes for credit, I planned on recieving outstanding merit. But now it seems A lot on my plate I’m working so hard Just to graduate. Can’t give up my dreams This is only a test It’s time to be strong And put weakness to rest.

The Essence of Poetry
<p>I wish you the absolute best with your studies.&nbsp;</p><p>Good of you for successfully capturing the stress that comes with being a student in your writing. I particularly enjoyed the read because it's simple yet very relatable. Theres a set audience that this directed (students in their last year of school, or generally students in school), which makes the message of your poem all the more clear.&nbsp;&nbsp;It also has a great purpose to inspire people to not give up, keep strong and move forward.&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p>
