Overcoming

A weight is on me,

But their is no tears running down my face,

Every night,

I lay in my bed,

with a light blue blanket over my head,

Thinking,

 

It took days,

to realize that I am living in my past,

And seeing my future being token from me,

Asking god why,

why,

so much pain,

living in my work,

But being recognize as a hard worker,

I know that something is going to change,

that academic award is mine,

I believe in me,

even if no one does not,

So as I lay in my bed tonight,

i will smile to my future,

and tell god thank you,

for letting me see light,
