Through trials and tumbles, I’ve learned to rise, A journey shaped by countless tries. Failures faced with head held high, Taught me courage—to soar, to fly.

When one ponders on the word,
“Inspiration”,
Images of
Sparks, fireworks,
Laughter, cheer,
And gleaming bright lights
Come to mind.
Oddly enough
I sometimes see
Bang
The first door shuts
I weave my way through a sea of greats
Disappointed because I failed to make the cut
when was it?
when i had to think about loved ones never coming back
when was it?
when i had to grow up to help my mom the way she was suppose to help me
when was it?
“Why do you sound like that?”
“Shut up and fix that.”
“Your accent can’t be that?”
“You can’t give a speech”
I strive to not be conformed.
I've got scars I've hidden,
and faced the scorn of all my lies,
but never cried.
Know Why? Cause I was born for this.
They yell in my face,
She laughs because while you see bullets
She sees rain
persistance is Her umbrella
the whispers of pain and doubt
urge Her
forward.
The terrain mocks Her ankles
She groans as She slips
Dear Cancer,
You’ve made me grieve
You still make me cry
I’ve shed tears into my pillow at night till’ my eyes were puffy and burnt out
