Resilient


Who am I?

I am keep going, never give up.

I am suffered, but not destroyed.

I am survived and better for it.

I am scared, but strong.

 

Who am I not?

I am not my abuse.

I am not my ACL injury.

I am not my mental illnesses.

I am not my failures.

 

I am more than the scars that remind me of where I come from.

I am more than the obstacles that I continue to triumph over.

Who am I?

I am resilient.
