down

I had high hopes

One five-hundred words essay
And one two-hundred words
Beautifully written supporting text

Four more two-hundred words essay
And that should be all, they say

I went through two stages
Considered not bad
Okay, considered very good
Since there were three stages

An opportunity of a lifetime is at stake
Accolades were too, at stake
More importantly
A Blackberry was for me to take

I want to go to the last stage
I want to have the Blackberry
I want to go on stage
To stand proud with MY Blackberry

Alas! It was not meant to be
Another year, I guess it would be

I did enjoyed the experience
It wasn't easy
And I'm proud I've tried

Let me wallow in sadness
Just until my tears have dried
