I am resilient.

I have been shot down.

I've been bent out of form.

I have been unrecognizable.

I have recovered from the storm.

After being knocked down,

and waiting for recovery for so long,

I got up on my own,

and discovered that I am strong.

I am not who anyone may say that am.

I will carve my own road.

I write my own future.

I will carry my own load.

I bounce back from adversity,

and I know where I stand. 

I am a master of resilience.

This is who I am.
