How were they so Great?
\nDid they study harder than me?
\nDid they work harder than me?
\nWhat made them so capable of Intelligence?<\/p>\n
These questions haunted me
\nAs I turned over the pages
\nOf the autobiography of Marie Curie
\nAnd her husband, the famous scientists.<\/p>\n
Why couldn\u2019t I accomplish something like them?
\nWould I ever be known for any Achievement?
\nWould I ever be recognized the world over?
\nHow did they do what they did?<\/p>\n
Time was running out
\nLunch was almost over
\nI had to read quickly
\nOr I would be late to class<\/p>\n
What if I never achieved such Mastery?
\nMaybe I\u2019m not meant to be so Bright?
\nWhy can\u2019t I discover radioactive elements?
\nMaybe, I just need to focus on the light.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
