Against All Odds

Against All Odds

When I took the step

That transitioned to leaps

Led me on a ride

And changed my life

For the better

But when the limiters knocked at my door

Telling me I wasn't gonna get it right

I Got fed up

Self Doubt shaped into drive for better

It's gets better, and better, and better

Emotion grew into passion

Being better, and better,

Intelligence shaped into intellect

Better and better

If not for the people in my life, even those who said I couldn't do it

I would still be in the corner tryna cry my way through it

But Today I stand tall out looking the skies from the mountain of victories

Built strong by many

Given the blessing of self belief

Published author before the age of 13

But not without the ladies in her life

Showing her how to be a queen

And the men upholding the life of kings

-So I'll do what mommy and daddy told me

And I'll hold my head up high

Never forgetting

To thank my God up in the sky

-Remember,

Sincerely from the heart

That each and every person is never seen best at the start

But if you hold your ground and hold true to your own

All the put downers will learn to leave you alone

Always be you, don't put on these fake facades

Gallop like the dark horse, against all odds
