Never Give Up
by Amayah Bailey, Harkaway Hills College
Finalist, Foundation – Year 2, written poetry
My poem is due today
But I don’t know what to say
I’ve tried so many times to write
But I couldn’t get it right
So here we go, I’ll try once more
I hope it’s better than before
I’ve learnt when things are tough
You should never, ever give up.
‘A reminder that showing up and trying again can be the most poetic act of all.’
