THE LONG HARD WAY

I am not a star
There is no Halo over my head
Fate doesn’t like the colour of my eyes
Struggle and strife are old friends of mine
Who am I?
I am a survival, I am guts, I am pride,
I like odds
Especially when they’re stacked against me
B’coz there will come a time when
I will stare them in the eye
And smile, the smile of the one who pulled it off
I am the person who will have deep lines on my face someday,
And it’ll make me look good when I laugh,
B’coz that is the day t will fear no fear
And taste the sweat that is sweet
And look back for the very first time and say
I did it my way
The LONG HARD WAY.
