Determination


I went from blue and white uniforms to bowties.

Everyday is a struggle so I flex my mental muscles.

Waking up extra early before sun rise

Always had migraines but I kept striving for perfection

I should be elected the most resilient

Dusting off my shoulders after falling to the ground many times

Just keep climbing and trying your best

To reach success and nothing less,

Nothing less.

Started out quiet and reserved,

Thrown to the curb by a male figure

But my quest must be fulfilled

I'm wearing a bulletproof vest

Beneath it is a steel chest

Doubling the strength and tripling the length of time spent working

Never going to stop until I fully succeed

Must stay humble and away from greed.

For making ends meet

For achieving my destiny in the driver's seat

This name will go down in history

Cory.
