This night is hot and stuffy

And fraught with anxiety.

My heart hurts,

I am a failure.

It's a difficult thing to face;

Your own failings.

And now:

Accept it.

This life you have envisioned-

It is not definite

There are always more things to do,

Places to see

And nothing is easy.

You have to go through difficult times

Because things are not

Some film or play or story

You are forging yourself.

Dedicate yourself to the right decisions,

Be brave.

Tomorrow is one moment,

A moment that will decide whether you

Get to be a University English Literature student

Or not.

But that moment will pass

And then you will continue,

Whatever the consequences.

Be brave.
