I M A D E I T .
They said I wouldn’t make it
Shouldn’t even try
Fed me doubt
I believed their lies
Struggled to make the first line
When over the hurdle I went
Myself.
Ready to present
Amoured with structural steel
Sickened by my last meal
I solidified my mental foundation
Controlled my concentration
Stilled my frustration
Achieved each target
Moved real silent
And adorned my gown
My smile replacing my frown
As I walked down
To collect my accomplishment
Ribbon bound
“Hey Mama, Look at me now!”
