I Didn’t Win A Prize

I worked so hard day and night.
I tried to win, with all my might.
I learnt all notes – no matter what size,
But still, I didn't win a prize.

I sacrificed going to port Grand or Parks.
And so, I passed with very good marks.
Although my exams were hard, I was very confdident,
But Alas! I didn't win a prize.

My friend got the highest in English,
She showed me her prize with pride.
I knew I had re-checked and revised,
But still, I didn't win a prize.

My Bestie always listens to music,
And still, she got the highest in Mathematics.
My time, I knew how to utilize.
But still, I didn't win a prize.

Some won prizes in Urdu or Science,
Others in Islamiat, Computers or History.
I went to a coaching-center and a tuition,
But still, I did not go to the prize distribution.

Although, I pleased my father and mother.
Surprised my cousins and astonished my brother.
But with myself, I was not at all pleased.
A terrible grief had suddenly seized.

But I knew I had a chance next year.
That made me work harder, with a will, so queer.
Then as hot tears rolled down my eyes,
I remembered, this year I had not won a prize.
