So I randomly went and wrote this poem. It's probably my first one that wasn't for a school assignment GET INSPIRED CHILDREN It's crazy how while how so many artists shine on a stage Athletes, musicians, dancers, painters Everyone else just watches They just sit on the sidelines, working their 9 to 5 jobs They wish they could be like the stars They want to shine But how can you shine if you never even try to emit a light, dim as it might be? Why would these people expect to just be amazing? You can never shine without a light If you want to glimmer, you must try to shimmer So why not try to be a light in the world You can make more of an impact, however small There is so much you can do Just try to stand up, maybe Try and make a change Try and build a skill, have a talent Maybe it didn't work out for you But you need to try You need to persist If you look around at all the famous people you know, how do you think they got there? Do you think they just flipped a switch and became brilliant? No, they persisted, and you should too, if you want to make a difference Athletes had to train for hours on end to make it that far Nobody is born amazing They all had to practice to get to that point And you do too
