Sculptured By Poorness

SCULPTURED BY POORNESS by Shyane A. Roa One scratch, one peck as they fondly call me, I am seen as nobody in the community Yes, I am a beggar in the street I am a woman who wears a dirty outfit I work during the day and study at night Hoping to have a future that was so bright But the way I acted was unpleasant to many They really hated my personality Every day I am begging for food to live I became a servant just to survive No one can dim my clear and bright visions Because this is me, with a strong determination I can endure life, no matter how tough Even they hated me I will continue my journey Rejection is my inspiration Obstacle is my key to build my ambition As of now, it’s my dream to have my career, I am proud that once I became a pauper, Because I was molded to become resilient And face life with joy and merriment

Such a motivational and uplifting poem this is, every person should be like this, we all should work hard to accomplish our dreams, for indeed with hardship there is ease but it depends on us, if we work hard, surely one day it will pay off, good luck and have a really nice day
