The quote “Keep calm and carry on.” Used by the British government during the Blitz, speaks to me in the way that when something goes wrong in school or with friends, I repeat that quote in my head. Here is my poem that reflects my thoughts.

When things go sour,

Or the day drags by the hour,

I repeat to myself a simple quote.

A quote that means “don’t freak out,”

A phrase that makes me calm.

So when the bad things come,

And we lose our hope,

I repeat to myself the simple quote:

“Keep calm and carry on.”
