Determination


Ambitious is what I am and what I will be in the future

Nothing will stop me

Not having money or the emotional torture

I wear adversity on my back

From molestation to losing a child

Successful achievements is what I stack

Failure is an option that I will not choose

Purpose is my anchor

And God is my driver, I will not loose

The color of my skin is black

But the status of my citizenship is FREEDOM

The gender that I am is Female

Adversity is my stepping stone

Because the haters want me to fail

However, I will prevail

I believe in myself

I speak my mind

My determination is like a rare treasure you hope to find
