Resilient Leader


See,

I'm seeing 

I'm dreaming,

I've been achieving,

Overcoming and healing 

from a life of grieving 

embarking on a mission to freedom 

there is no concealing me 

its been my destiny 

to rise through a piece of concrete 

and blossom like a flower 

you ought to be, 

instead...

you continue to bother me...

Like I have the nutrients for gardening

But I'm still on the rise 

So why aren't you honoring... my progress 

following the path that i provide

For your strides

do not need be like mine

Follow my direction
