The Mirror


Out of the family of 8 I struggle,

Struggle as the only male,

I have took upon myself to create opportunities, 

Half is what I get but that is why I work so hard

Harder then a fall from the sky,

Being rejected is a must in life

Perseverance is not for everyone 

I live for myself but yet finding a way to help others

They keep me going to push makes me have to push myself

I keep on going

10 hours a day at school not everyone can say 

But soon I will say I made with hard work and nothing will bring down.
