I cannot do fancy card tricks,

I am nowhere near the top of my class,

I am just another average individual.

Except.

 I have something most of them don’t.

Vibrant. Exotic. Fiery-Red.

Just a few words to describe it

Some would say it’s just a by-product.

That I’m a fake.

That I don’t deserve it.

I have heard it all.

But.

It defines me.

It has helped me become who I am today.

Confident. Strong. Ambitious.

            No one gets to tell me who I am

Except

Me.
