The 2020 Premier League Writing Stars Key Stage 2 prize went to Jonathan, 10, from Engayne Primary School in London for his poem, "Unstoppable".
It focuses on a person who refuses to be denied as they pursue their goals.
Unstoppable
They punched me down
Laughed at me, mocked me
Thought I didn't shine
Thought I couldn’t be
But I couldn’t believe them
And I didn’t believe them
Because I was unstoppable
They ground me down
Teased me, didn’t care about me
Left me in the alley
No-one to talk to, I was unhappy.
But I couldn’t believe them
And I didn’t believe them
Because I was unstoppable
Now I’ll show them
What I can do
What they don’t know
About me, their foe
I've shown them
I’ve blown them away
Into the dusty day
Because I never stopped
And I won't
And I can't
Because I am unstoppable
