Out of the Darkness

 

In the darkness?

No, not me,

not anymore.

 

Have you seen my English?

Have you heard me?

Reading, writing, AND speaking!

I CAN do it ALL!

 

Thanks to poetry.

Thanks to my family.

I am out of this darkness,

I WILL do this.

 

Watch me.

Watch me be the best me.

Watch me.
