My soul is a radiant of colors

Some bright, some dark

Every smile I receive, every lesson taught

Fortifies me, they give me my spark

The beaming faces behind my experiences

Reach out their callused hands to support me

There the lamps that shine on my path of fulfilment

Giving me hope that I can become the best I can be

So every time you doubt me, you doubt their work

All the kindness, love, and support they woven

My refusal to stand down stems from them

I am their culmination, and I won't let life or anyone leave me broken

Tear me down, but I already have a foundation as strong as a stone

Spiteful voices mean nothing to me so you better watch your damn tone
