Poem: O&A

While here in O&A, we should try to do our best
It's not a walk in the park
We are in here for a test.
I mean, come on, if any of us here are wishing to succeed,
Then each and every one of us better be willing to believe.
When our time in here is done,
 on the outs, we gotta give it our all.
We gotta go out there and shoot for the stars and try not to fall.
Don't let your haters bring you down
 they can't diss your shine.
All you gotta do is turn around, walk away, and say it doesn't hurt.
Keep trying.

J.H.
