There are battles that I am constantly fighting;
Some internal, many more external.
Since birth fighting to gain attention, acceptance and inclusion,
At school, a race from mediocracy, to prevent fall from grace,
At college to be a preferred student, to gain appreciation,
At work for recognition, growth and citation,
At home to fit into a role as defined by society.
Within Me I ask “Who am I really “
Left behind somewhere in this journey
Submerged my dreams, desires and destiny
For there is a battle that I am constantly Fighting
Mostly internal and many external
To Find
What Defines Me .
