Challenge Accepted Poem by JOJO PESCADOR

It took me too long to prepare
A lot of papers,
A lot of sweat,
A lot of tears,
I exerted to fulfill this dream.

A dream that years ago
I failed to get
But with God's help,
With a lot of blessings that He gave,
I am pursuing the dream,
A dream that I thought
I'm totally forgetting.

This was not the path
I suppose to track,
This was not the career
I suppose to pursue.
But what happened now?
I'm now standing in front of delegates and authorities
Proving to myself that I am the one, the one they're looking for.
Yes I am... I am...

Realizations struck me...
This challenge was not that easy
Shaky hand, teary eyes is what I got.
But in the end,
I proved to myself, to everyone
That I can stand, in front of everyone
Proved to them that I can carry
The challenge I accepted.
