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,
