I am Strong and Courageous


 

I am strong and courageous.

I wonder what the future has in store for me.

I hear people telling me “you can not…”

I see myself doing what they say I can’t.

I want to prove to them that they are wrong.

I am strong and hopeful.

 

I pretend like I do not care what they say.

I feel power inside me.

I touch the future.

I worry about my potential.

I cry for my parents.

I am strong and hopeful.

 

I understand the challenges will end.

I say I don’t grow when things get easy; I grow when I face the challenges.

I dream for a better life.

I try to do my best.

I hope for a change in the world.

I am strong and hopeful.
