I have come a long way through suffering and strife
Just to gain recognition and identity in this harsh life
All struggles I had still remain, haunting, torturing me
Worry about my future, crying over failure were agony
Proving myself to others, meant gaining more strength
Accomplishing that goal required going to great length
Had to do something, to strengthen and fortify my soul
I needed perserverance, confidence and more control
Recovering from failure, gathered courage to fight back
Gained what I aimed for and recovered everything I lack
Could achieve something with hard work and dedication
My tenacity and the spirit to win in any dreadful situation
I'm finally able to fulfill and color my dreams as wishes do
Without a doubt, I have attained so much that I wanted to
All my aspiring hopes will still remain as high as they are
With this new found strength and zeal, I will reach a star
