Resilience

I know I'm not the most brilliant

And I've never had luck on my side

But what I am is resilient

That's where my superpower hides

And not only did I survive

I kept the heart where love could thrive

Where so many others did break

I bent, but came back stronger

Somehow I knew what was at stake

I would be the victim no longer

My life's been filled with so much pain

Fought battles others have lost

The demons I fought drove some insane

Many would pay the cost

And not only did I survive

I kept a heart where love could thrive

But I held on to hope and Grace

Planted seeds of good in hates place

I didn't give up when the defeat was near

I might have been scared but always brave

And I didn't give in to the fear

Never kayode by the blows life gave

You see there's so much power I hold

I have fought demons and monsters as well

And no matter how my stories are told

There will be many more to tell.
