A Word of Encouragement

So maybe you failed a test

Or did badly on an assignment.

 Maybe Chemistry isn’t

 Your strong spot,

Maybe you’re not too great at Trig.

 That doesn’t mean you’ve failed!

So long as you try and try,

 You’ve never failed.

 As long as you give it all you’ve got

 Until there’s nothing left to give,

Then you’ve won.

You’ve won life.

 Life isn’t about the test;

 I hate teachers who think

 The world revolves around the test.

 The world is founded by people

 That didn’t bother thinking

Towards the test;

They thought outside the box.

They saw the problems

In the world and instead of ignoring it

 Like everyone else,

They made it better.

So no, you haven’t failed.

You’re just more

Than what you ever thought you were.
