2018 Kipling Award Poetry Winner-Kaley Reckell, Dover Elementary School, Bridget Cole: Teacher


Everybody Else   


     
Everybody else is watching
Others are scared to make progress
In fear that they will be judged,
Some don't get involved with the process.


Nobody is actually perfect.
It really isn't possible.
But if being you is the thing to to, 
It's good to be irrational.

Everybody else doesn't look like me,
But should I be concerned?
Everybody is different, and we want to stand out,
So being myself is key.

Those who refrain receive no gain,
When everybody else is the pressure.
When you get challenged, although,
You seem to do much better.
