I Am An Island

I am an island
Isolated by My self
Surrounded by no one.
I have no means of help
I am a small island
a very small,but strong island.
I’ve been ran over by many waves
Waves that have tried to destroy my defenses,
But yet they made me stronger.
I am an island 
In the midst of an ocean of predators.
I am an island 
all by my self
yet still i rise, 
from all my hustles and struggles
i am an island
stand strong with a flag carrying my name
