Perseverance


Work hard and when that is not enough work harder,

Work until your flaws fade to black,

Work until people stand up and take notice,

Work your hardest all the time, so

When you need a break it is gladly given.

I work for my future, I work for a brighter future

than I have seen others achieve.

I work for the opportunity,

 To not worry about being enough.

I work on who I am,

To become

who I want to be.
