"Stronger than concrete"


 

Who am I?

The girl who left her family and country seven years ago

In a country full beauty and love

I am Dominican but most importantly,

I am a sister, a daughter, and a friend

Who would give up her life for the ones  that she loves,

A student who will become a nurse

Who goes through constant up and downs

And yet stands up,

Who was doubted by many

But proved them wrong,

Who sometimes feels like giving up

However God doesn't let her fall,

I am a girl with not the "perfect" body shape or size

Who tries to survive in a world that is harsh,

Who has been hurt many times in her life

But somehow manages to continue her life,

I am stronger than concrete

because I have been hurt many times

yet no one has "destroyed" or "demolish" me.
