Strong
Hey
You've done well
To make it to this point
But it's not over yet.
The nightingale must
not stop singing.
Be Strong when
Mother tells you
you're an embarrassment, when
Father only looks at you
with shame, when
your Friends laugh
at your pain.
Be Strong, for
The Phoenix will eventually
spread its wings.
I am.
