Resilience
The mirror is my history book
It shows each chance towards death I took
As I was sent away each time
I felt as if I had committed a crime
At least now I know that isn’t true
And that other people have problems too
My mind is as scarred as my body
But, this is inspiring entirely
Thankfully I’m still alive,
I credit my thirst to strive
My past is where it belongs
I have forgiven all that I’ve done wrong
There is too much in my story to tell
The only importance is that I’m well
My soul embodies resilience
My heart exemplifies perseverance
Nothing can ever be erased
But, everything will be embraced
My reflection shows all my progress
and despite everything, I know now I'm flawless
