Just one time,
Look at me with unwavering
Eyes reflecting hope and faith in
This crazy world; feeling tall
Without legs extended with
Ten inch stilts christened ‘so in’.

Just one time- and
We’ve been given only once-
Live with belief in your own caliber,
Because you don’t have to be Hercules
To complete dodekathlon*-
You just have to be you-
And accept it with a smile.
