Advocating


Resources all around, a twelve year old on the ground.

Pushed to achieve, taking advantage of the speed.

Years pass with very slow growth, until the year he takes an oath.

A seventeen year old unfolds and becomes thankful of the molds.

Starts to advocate for himself, and finds himself staring at a shelf.

Light appears, what a waste of so many years.

No time to waste, time to embrace.

Speaking up, asking for help, finding solutions, and finally advocating for oneself.
