Hard Work


Hard Work

            Drive through flames

            Face the endless nights

            Burn doubt and all else

            Arise higher than the sun

           

            Strive for success

            Find your heart

            Forge steel through dedication

            Set aside others doubt

           

            Carve a path

            Through sea and mountain

            Again we can arise

            Not as individuals

           

            Not as different races

            Instead

            We can all shine as family

            Through blood, sweat, and tears fueled by hard work

Hello! I'm 19 years old. I've grown a lot since a year an a half ago. I still write lots of poems just don't have much time to post them. Its over 600 but who needs count, art isn't limited by number but heart-filled effort lol. I pray everyone is doing well, thank you for those who have read my craft, liked it, commented and took time out of their day to view it. Currently I speak mainly two languages English and spanish while learning french. I'm keeping busy, GOD bless everyone and have a dazzling day. Oh that's me and my mom too in the pic if it even loads haha, feeling fresh;).
