Science

There was once a girl

Who had questions about the world

Mainly, who called the shots?

Indeed, questions, she had lots

And they were good questions, too

What makes the sky blue

And fire hot?

But sadly, answers she never got

That was until she encountered science

It offered her the perfect kind of guidance

Answers answers galore!

She felt the need to learn more, more, more!

Now she is a girl who learns more by the day

And owes it all to science, which paved the way

We Are All Gold

Some days I feel like a used tissue

Dejected and worn out

Practically useless

On other days I feel like gold

Shiny and priceless

Cherished by many

But every day,

I feel uncertain

Who am I?

Who am I trying to become?

Why do I try to impress those around me when they already know my worth?

I wanted to reach the top

To show everyone that I’m something

That someday I’ll shine

I didn’t realize

There is nobody to impress

Everyone around me knows

I’m gold

Every day

Not just some

Everything I needed

Everything I sought

Was there all along

I was blind

But I’ve opened my eyes

I can see now

I’m not the only one who’s gold

Everyone around me is gold as well

We’re all gold

Everyone is shiny and priceless

Each one of us is worth something

We all have a purpose

We are all important

We are all GOLD

Dancing in the Rain

Come out of your shell

See what you’ve never seen before

Don’t wait for the sun to come out and guide you

It may never come

Instead, when it rains

Let yourself get wet

Appreciate the rain for growing so many beautiful things

Don’t wait for the sun to rise again

Learn to dance in the rain

Dance like there’s no tomorrow

Because there might not be

And if that is the case

Be proud of yourself

You knew the sun may never come

And you didn’t care
