To the best version of ourselves,
We are a work in progress.
We're the miracle we've been waiting for.
Not defined by circumstances
-certainly not prisoners of defeat.
The red flags we let slide are the deal breakers in our stride.
-To turn ourselves in, to the dreams we strive.
Responsibility is the burden we do not wish to carry, yet here we are alphas of our destiny.
We rise to the occasion in our forsaken attire of valour.
To those who chance upon the rhythm we tread,
bare witness to the gleaming badge of a misfit statured against our chest.
