PERSEVERE; A POEM

in poetry •  7 years ago  (edited)

The day ends with a stare in the mirror
My mind wearied with stress, yet no sign of honour
But the age in my eyes, they tell me a story
I have not come this far to miss the glory

Alas all may seem dark and steaming
Yet in my heart, I believe success is brewing
My figure not good enough to show it
Yet deep within I already own it

And although compatriots tend not to perceive
This glorious bounty, I am set to receive
So I'll set sail to achieve the greatness in me
Yes, severally I fail, victory still I choose to see

My gaze I'll fix stayed on the prize
And am not afraid to pay the price
This dear friend you should understand
The storms regardless, in the end, I'll stand

I'll remain bold, I'll take the long walk
And build great confidence in my talk
For I know in the pain, there is gain
And the glory would lack honor without my story

This is My Story!!!
