Character is built
Not from the face one puts
Towards the public,
But the face that shows
When faced with adversity.
Some will crumble under the
Pressures of today,
While others will rise
For the promise of tomorrow.
The moment you
Find within yourself,
The strength in which to stand,
Is the moment you can release the
Burdens of your past
To focus on the goals of your future.
What they say doesn’t matter.
Be proud of who you have worked
So hard to become.
For you are the only judge of your own success
If you have made yourself proud,
Then you have nothing to regret.
