Mental Reminder

Photo by cottonbro

I tried, it was not enough,

No, you don’t understand,

How it feels this burning inside,

Your dreams chased and crushed after lots of effort,

But I will get up again.

Even if I am tired,

I save the hope I will become who I want to be, not sure when,

However, I will fight, because that’s what my bones are of, perseverance.

I won’t give up until my last breath,

I want to shine, everyone deserves to,

For me, not anyone’s else opinion would change my path.

I will get there.
