H E A RT OF A ST RUGGLE R Evonne There’s nothing with me but total silence, Even my shadow disappears with everything in the darkness; Too many feelings I cannot express, Because no one will listen, I guess? As I stand alone in the dark and empty space With sadness and tears flowing down my face I am silent all the time, unable to speak Acting so tough but deep inside, I am weak Clouded with different emotions which I hide It’s like being choked and tangled up inside I felt like I am running forever but going nowhere Afraid of failing because people might judge and stare It is the pain that changed and taught me how to live For I know, I still have hopes and dreams I can achieve With too many voices, I can now hear my own; I learned how to get up and get out of my comfort zone I am a struggler with challenges I’ve overcome I am way stronger now, and that’s what I’ve become I am braver, I am beautiful, and yes, I am me I will be successful someday, and everyone will see
