The day I was born,

I was destined. 

Destinied for challenges,

My brothers death,

Attempted sexual assault, 

My fathers deployments, 

Elementery school bullying,

Social issues, 

An anxiety disorder.

But,

those things MADE me who I am. 

A fighter. 

I refuse to give up. 

I refuse to submit.

I choose to rise above. 

A fighter.
