Resilient


I am the girl that  got a disease.

I am the girl that almost died...twice.

I am the girl who always misses school.

I am the girl who tucks her emotions away.

I am the girl with no energy.

I am the girl who is forced to smile.

I am the girl who lost all of her friends.

I am the girl who has overcome horrific obstacles.

But in the process..

I became the girl who didn't let the disease stop me!

I became the girl who almost died but pulled through!

I became the girl who is back in school, and loving it!

I became the girl who isn't afraid to express herself!

I became the girl with the energizer bunny inside her!

I became the girl that smiles because she is happy!

I became the girl who was social!

I became the girl who faced horrific obstacles..but bounced back!

I am Resilient.
