Passion's Prevail

"You're gifted; if only you'd apply yourself," he's told for eleven years. "They don't know me like I know myself." The boy loves but envies his peers. "No awards to be shown on my shelf," In vain, his sweat and tears! "You can't; dare not try!" summarizes his fears. Two paths coincide, three entities collide, a Book, a Boy, a Battle, a ringing bell doth rattle. "You must, you can't not!" His heart pleads to his self esteem to begin repair and bring to life his dream.
