A Better Plan

Last week, I saw the results of Upcat and Ustet. I didn't pass any of those entrance exams. I just got waiting list for Entrepreneur at UST. Thank the Lord. But I still cried. I cried so hard. I really wanna pass Upcat and make my parents proud. I made a poem about it. This poem is for our performance task in English. I have to make a poem about my significant experience. I made it about this. I know this may sound weird to some, but while making the poem, I cried a lot. It was hard to move on. But when I finished the poem... The crying stopped. I felt happy now and less negative. I think writing, really, does help you share your emotions and feelings when you can't say it or shout it. When I finished the poem, It's like, I feel free. It's like I have already moved on and shared everyone what and how I felt. I realized things I should have realized before. I thank everyone who inspired me to make this poem. It's entitled "A Better Plan". :)

"A Better Plan"

I thought I did great,

I was positive I could pass it,

Imagining my parents proud,

Hoping without doubts.

The big day finally came,

Hoping I would see my name.

Seeing the results,

I felt my heart melt.

A huge failure, I thought,

But a wise man once taught,

“Be strong! Wipe out those tears,

It won’t do you good, my Dear.”

Following his advice,

I redeemed myself,

Thinking of a plan,

That would get me to dream land.

Now, expect a new me.

For any problem, I’ll be ready.

I’ll be thankful for my mistakes,

Coz’ a better me, it makes

Realizing many things…

Finally! My heart joyfully sings!

A better plan, God has.

A huge smile, at last!

I know some people may think my poem needs a lot work or editing. I'm not quite sure. Tell me if there's something wrong with the poem. I would love to hear all of your opinions.
