What I Thought I Was


When I look in the mirror I see me

A young girl that is transforming into a young woman now

Unstoppable. That's what defines me. I've never been afraid of what comes next 

I'm willing to do what it takes to make it to where success is

I became the person I am today by simply being unstoppable with a hint of educated 

I can't stop and think for a moment of not being unstoppable

I've gone through so much pain 

I've fallen on my face so many times

I've been so low in life that the only place I can look was up for some relief 

What makes me is my strength to keep going and being unstoppable

I became the person I am today by living by one motto: Pain is the key to success
