I Don't Know What to Say
I'm trying to write this poem.
What do I even say?
Do I talk about my life?
Do I talk about my day?
Maybe I mention my merit,
My scores and GPA?
Should I list my awards, or my courses?
I suppose it helps either way.
Should I tell about my talents?
Or is that too cliché?
How about four years of French?
Je ne sais pas ce que je dirais ...
I need to get this done,
I really mustn't delay.
There's just so much to talk about,
Yet I'm not sure what to convey.
I tried to write this poem,
I tried and tried all day.
But at the end of it all,
My thoughts are in disarray.
(the French line translates as "I do not know what I'd say ...")
