Survival
Deep down in my pores
Soaked into my skin
Lies the determination that pumps through my veins
A survivor of hurtful times
Filled with motivation to not look back
To keep pushing forward
To succeed
A believer in the great things unseen
The things that are meant for me
It is now that I know
Why I went through all the hardships
All the pain
Why I endured all the past rejection
So I could appreciate
The sunny days
My blessings
But be prepared for the rainy ones
The blizzards
For the storms that are sure to come
Stronger than I ever thought I could be
I will go through the rest of my life with my head held high
Because I survived
Flawlessly
