What am I?

What am I?

Determined. Persistant. Eternal.

What hasn't stopped me still follows me.

But I hold my head high and look directly in the eyes

     of those who will never fly.

Empowered. Consistant. Beautiful.

How the mirror stares back at me.

But I let my hair down and twirl myself around

     because I have never felt so high.

Whole-Hearted. Stubborn. Intelligent.

When the numbers strain to define me.

But I do all I can and have pushed on again

     fore a rating won't make me cry.
