How do I Break into tech?

I was broken and lost, Always been smart but the vision got tossed. Led astray Now I’m back call it my new start, new day. I craft code, make pages on the web, Facial recognition, AI in my head. Shopify stores, I’m the master, no lie, Movie databases, bots that reply. Cloud hosted apps, always online, But recognition? Still not mine. I’m worth six figures, 100K a year, But no one sees me I just disappear. Is it my name? Is that why doors close? I know the frameworks Vue, Laravel, let’s go. PHP, Python, I breathe in the scripts, JavaScript magic in every commit. Been applying for months… now it’s two years, Still no open doors just doubt and fears. My résumé’s sharp a killer, for real, But it feels like I’m caged, denied the deal. Non-traditional, college dropout, Took the long road, still trying to climb out. Illegal work showed up at my door feels like I’m drifting away, All this talent still nothing to say? Is tech all a hoaxed Who gets in?
