Moving Forward

WHO AM I? YOU MUST SAY A WOMAN WHO HAS BEEN BEATEN DOWN BY LIFE WHO HAS SURVIVED MANY THINGS. SOME OF THEM YOU WILL NEVER KNOW ABOUT SOME OF THEM YOU MAY HAVE HEARD ABOUT. WHO DO YOU SAY I AM ? A WOMAN WHO HAS BEEN AROUND THE BLOCK WHO WAS TOO NAIVE TO SEE WHAT WAS IN FRONT OF HER. A WOMAN WHO IS NOTHING BUT A DESPARATE PITIFUL SOUL WHO HAS NOTHING TO OFFER. SOMEONE WHO IS IN A SAD STATE WHO YOU LOOK AT WITH PITY. WHO DO YOU THINK I AM? A LOST SPIRIT WHO IS BROKEN ON THE INSIDE AND CRUMBLING ON THE OUTSIDE. WHAT IS IT IN ME THAT YOU SEE A THREAT IN YOUR OWN LIFE SOMEONE IS STRIVING FOR BETTER SOMEONE THAT IS IN NO COMPETITION WITH YOU. OR IS MY DRIVE AND DETERMINATION IS CAUSING YOUR INSECURITY. IF THAT IS THE CASE MAYBE YOU NEED TO EXAMINE YOUR LIFE AND SEE WHERE THE PROBLEM LIES. INSTEAD OF LOOKING AT ME WITH DESPISE. MY GOALS ARE ALREADY IN PLACE. SO THAT I MAY RUN THIS LONG RACE.
