About this piece
My submission speaks of challenges and changes that define how people seek to improve/change their lives. The simple daily choice of living and improving adds up to a beautiful journey.
When a lot of your life
Has been defined by disappointment and death,
You learn to appreciate mortality
Because today could be your last breath,
But you defy the odds -
Day in and day out.
You reaped miracles where others sowed seeds of doubt!
People judge how you live your live
But they couldn't swim at this depth,
Sure to drown... but,
Butterfly strokes mean you've blossomed,
From the caterpillar,
And all the trauma
Makes smelling flowers all the better.
