Persevere Poem by Brent McCracken

My heart and soul is alive with pain, hope, fear, dreams, everyday I embrace them one and all, never will I give credit nor blame to those whom have enetered my life, that have attempted to take and use me, for it is I that sculpts who I was, who I am, who I will be.
Life at times is tumultuos, I refuse to let them have an affect, or a place in my life, I will not let their venom, and contempt for themselves poison my soul.
I might not be the best, but I am great, because I am me, and I am what I want me to be, I will never be broken, or taken advantage of, I will always persevere, for I am honest, loyal, and true.
