Strong Poem by STEPHANIE ROMERO

I'm walking down memory lane, my eyes are crying out
I see all around me all the things I have done
All my accomplishments make me proud
All my miseries make me frown
Looking back i feel defeated, all my energy has been whiped out

''She is so STRONG'', I hear someone shout
I turn around, nothing in sight
I keep on hearing the same words

I think to myself, could this be true
Me, strong, really, strong?
I question myself over and over
They say I portray such a strong person
If this is true, why do i feel defeated and weak?

One of my mottos is never give up
Yeah it's true i have made it this far in life
Through all the rain, I brought out the shining sun
Even though I get defeated sometimes
It is true, I am as STRONG as all of you

I need to understand, i won't always be on top
On the way up the mountain of life, i will fall down
Some will even try to push me off
I must keep trying, I refuse to give up!
Just the choice off climbing this mountain, makes me very STRONG!
