Poem
It wasn't easy But it had to be done Hard work is not always fun Sleepless nights Lots of advice Had to take heed Trying to see what all I had to do to succeed I was counted out Yes But you see I am what they call success Success comes with fears of failing Exceptions to excelling Constant cries Consistency is where it lies Never giving up No matter what it took Taking on task That were hard Playing your part in a society Who already labels you before they know That you are a plant ready to grow Only thing they needed was to see the soil Nurture it to life With water and sunlight And then boom There is life spoke into the unspoken It came with restless nights Devotion Beliefs for the unbelievable Achieving for the unachievable Reasoning for the unreasonable Yet I still feel success I gave it all my best I didn't put a limit on myself I wanted to be rich in knowledge and then gain my wealth This road wasn't easy I didn't do it myself I had a team Who supported the dream Too I am a part of 2022 I am the finished image Of making it through a pandemic I understood That some things work for the good And sometimes being misunderstood doesn't make it worse I stand out Breaking a generational curse An unfinished lyric To an unfinished verse I am the decision I make I am the risk that I take I am still human and will make mistakes But they can be corrected I am no longer rejected I am respected with honors I am the upcoming uprising star I am not who you say I am I am a warrior a conqueror not a quitter I am someone I am I did it when everyone said I can't With all that is left to say Congratulations I made it And this feeling I wouldn't trade it Written by Concetta Hardnett 05/22/2022 To all the Graduates
