Perseverance


I am...

The thought ponders in my head,

Am I defined by what people think of me

or what I believe to be?

How am I unique?

I guess the answer lies in me

 

I try to perfect my physique

Always striving to reach the peak

constant grind to reach a goal

will I meet?

but how does that make me,

me?

 

Is it my grades?

My looks?

My personality? 

No! 

I am who I am because of my perseverance.

 

I believe I can accomplish my ambition

as long as I keep the same intentions

focus on improving 

with high confidence

and stay unpretentious

and never change what I am,

The man
