Just Like the Greats

Shakespeare and Sophocles, I can be like them, 

I, too, can write and listen and understand

If I focus on what is important, I will come out successful in the end,

I’ll be just like Antigone, and go against the trend.

Harrison Bergeron taught me to be different and fight with harangue, 

I can survive even the worst situation; life won’t leave me half-hanged.

Others will judge, I may feel alone, 

but I’ll look to the heroes, like a Book Thief and a clone.

Forever I will carry the memory of the greats and give the world a whirl, 

Because somewhere out there, hidden away deep down, lies my pearl.
