Determination


I was born with an outlook to always be the best, 
My Destiny was never to be like the rest, 
My mother gave me a name that meant crown,Queen that set me apart, 
It meant Supreme, 
Her perfect dream,  
 
My Father a musician never playing secondary in my life, 
He was a Daily, constant, Funny, Witty and Spiritual that’s right, 
His Guidance of Love unimaginable and very precise, 
He gave me all he could at a early age, 
Losing him to soon was life, a knife that cut the strings of my adolescent stage, 
Leaving me to deal with lost, pain, hurt, anger,  
 
A shred of life that I had to Untangle, 
Putting it into words, 
I became that woman Of essence, 
I learned how to fly with broken wings,  
 
Education become my Driven dream, 
Buried in books and work carried the weight of my pain that made me gain, 
I became into my own though the rage, 
A lady of caliber,Outstanding citizen,  
 
But don’t look at me, as I am no different, 
I am blessed, 
Strong-willed and willing, 
To live life at my best,  
Determination I wear as a crown that Will someday help others and mark my foundation as I  become a great success.
