Determination

Walking through a world filled with pain,

It’s hard to hold my head high without feeling shame.

I see those around me comforted by their lack of success,

I refuse to be that, I refuse to settle for anything less.

Inspiration, elation, creation, determination,

I strive for the best out of any situation.

Though I will never be perfect, I won’t give up,

I’ll keep fighting for fulfillment until I’ve filled my cup.
