I Am...


I am

    Strong

       Idependent

          Despite what others think

I am 

    Motivated

        Determined

           Despite the people who say I can't

I am 

     Pursuing

          Chasing

             The dreams I've had since i was little

I am 

     Capable

          Willing

               To always do more than required

I am not 

         Weak 

              Useless

                  As some say i am

I am not

           Quitting 

                  Stopping 

                           No matter what obstacles are in front of me

I am not 

           Like the others 

                 Like the ones who wait for handouts

I am not 

         Going to sit here and wait for something to happen

I am 

        Going to go out and make something hapen

                                       Going to shape my own future

I am 

      Motivated 

            Determined 

I am 

     Strong 

          Independent 

I am

        Different
