Courage Poem

I am no Superhero!  I am Faith Rodriguez and making  a difference in this world

I suffer from depression, and I refuse to let fear take hold

I won’t keep this secret any longer as crying in the night hurts

I fight my desire to feel like dirt

And, I pray

And, I pray

Faith is the name my parents gave me.  They must have known I would need it someday

I haven’t lost my way

I volunteer every week to pay it forward; it helps my heart to give back

Totally helps me keep on track

I don’t like to speak in front of crowds; but I practice and do it for the grade

I make them interactive to distract my thoughts

I will master this because I have been taught

To pray, and I pray
