This poem is very speical. I need all who read this to review. Why? Because as it says in the poem, I will be trying out for the school again. I will be, this time, auditioning for the Theater and Creavite Writing Departments. I want to send this in, as a piece of my portfolio. So I really need feedback, ok? Don't worry about my spelling. I'll have someone check it before it goes in. NOTE: I did check it myself before it was put up. I'm not totally stupid.

Rejected

I got a letter today,

And my heart stopped.

Oh my god, what will it say?

Was I able to come out on top?

I opened it,

Heat pounding in my ears.

My heart stopped a bit,

The words will stay with me for years.

I had failed.

No way we’ll let you in.

Mom said my faced paled,

She asked if the spot did I win?

My eyes could not contain my tears,

Thoughts spun in my head.

The letter contained no jeers,

But it still filled me with dread.

No Hartford Arts Academy,

The spiteful thing said.

Depressed, upstairs went me,

Crying, straight to bed.

Thoughts raced,

I didn’t eat.

In my room I paced,

I felt weak.

So, I didn’t get in,

No big deal.

That isn’t a sin.

Dreams heal.

I know what to do.

I’ll try again, so help me.

Bullheaded is my trait, too.

Not just my self-pity.

So I’ll never give up,

Never will I give in.

If I never give up,

I’m sure to win.

I will never give in,

It’s just not me.

The spot, I’ll win.

Just you wait and see!

I won’t give up,

I won’t stop!

I won’t give up,

Til I’m too old to get the spot.
