"From Nothing to Power"

"From Nothing to Power"

A Poem by Thepensiveplayer
"

How you handle your hardships determine who you are.

"
"I came from unfortunate times"
"where my family struggled to save dimes"

"When it came to wants, the answer was no"
"and my folks had to explain how so?"


"I was taught to be successful in school"
"even though I lacked the items to look cool"

"I lost friends I thought walked my path"
"but they were phony like a disparaging laugh"

"Yet, my experiences made me a stronger person"
"because in my life, I decide when to pull the curtain"

"Getting up is the easy part"
"The challenge is making steps to a new start"

"Remember your the author of your story"
"let your final chapter end with your glory"
