Bridged Path and Tempered Steel
December 23, 2015
Though difficult, life breaks into decisions
A fork in a bridge, dual divisions
Making me fall through or give in to its conditions
I will not let my fear rule over my visions.
I see my heart is like steel, yet stone cold
As hard as a sword; once hammered tenfold
Tempered, always tough, it will never falter
But hold fast and still like the Rock of Gibraltar.
But only conflict wills a sword to shatter
Like how men turn bridge to ladder
Rather, I will never ask myself, “What’s the matter?”
Because I am strong from what I can gather.

For a long time I have suffered problems with self-esteem and anger management. Ever since elementary school I would have problems with being bullied and always taking it out on people. Through setting up a moral code and taking each moments I've have in my life, I tried to make myself tougher in life to become a better person.
